Let's sing another song, boys.
[Ebm] This one has grown [Eb] old and bitter.
[G]
Ah, his fingernails, [D] I see they're broken.
[C] His ships, they're all on [G] fire.
[Am] The moneylender's lovely little daughter.
[A] Ah, [G] she's eaten, she's eaten with desire.
[Bm] She spies him through [Em] the glasses from [Bm] the [C] pawnshops of her [G] wicked father.
[Bm] She hails him with a [Em] microphone that some poor [Bm] singer, just [C] like me, had [G] to leave her.
[Am] She tempts him [A] with a [G] clarinet.
[D]
[Em] She waves a Nazi [D] dagger.
[G]
She [D] finds him lying [G] in a heap.
She [D] wants to be [G] his woman.
[C] He says, yes, I just might go to sleep, but [G] kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open.
[Am] He stands where it is steep.
[G] Ah, I guess he thinks that [C] he's the very [G] first one.
[Bm] His hand's upon his [Em] leather belt now, like it was [Bm] the wheel of [C] some big [G] ocean liner.
[Bm] And she will learn to [Em] touch herself so well as all the sails burn [C] down [G] like paper.
[A] [Am] And he has [G] lit the chain
[G] [Em] of his famous [D] cigarillo.
[G] They'll never, [D] they'll never, ever [G] reach the moon.
[C] At least not [D] the one [G] that we're after.
[Am] It's floating broken on the open sea.
Look out there, my friends.
[G] And it carries no survivor.
[Bm] But let's leave these [Em] lovers wondering why [Bm] they cannot [C]
have [G] each other.
And [Bm] let's sing another [Em] song, boys.
This one [Bm] has grown [C]
old [G] and bitter.
