Lyrics
And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I'd borrowed from a coffee bar
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be Antonio, and all my bridges I would burn
And when I gave them some big note
I'd expect something in return
I'd have to get drunk every night
And talk about virility
With some old grandmother
Who might be decked out like a Christmas tree
And though pink elephants I'd see
Though I'd be drunk as I could be
Still I would sing my song to me
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour everyday
If I could be for one little hour
Too cute in a stupid ass way
And if I joined the social world
Became procurer of young girls
And I would have my own bordellos
My record would be number one
And I'd sell records by the ton
All sung by many other fellows
My name would then be Handsome Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whisky that came from Twickenham
Authentic queers and bony virgins
If I had banks on every finger
A finger in every country
And all the countries ruled by me
Then I know I'd want to be
Locked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some Chinamen
I'd sing the song I sang of then
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour everyday
If I could be for one little hour
Too cute in a stupid ass way
Now tell me wouldn't it be nice
That if one day in paradise
I'd sing for all the ladies up there
And they would sing along with me
We'd be so happy there to be
'Cos down below is really nowhere
And if my name were Juniper
Then I would know where I was going
Then I'd become all knowing
And my beard so very long and flowing
If I became deaf, dumb and blind
Because I hated all mankind
I'd broke my heart to make things right
I'd know that every single night
When my angelic work was through
The angels and the devil too
Would sing my childhood song to me
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour everyday
If I could be for one stinking hour
Too cute in a stupid ass way
All right
