Well I'm here looking through an old picture frame Just waiting for the perfect view I hope something special will step into my life Another fine edition of you A portrait done in shades of blue Sometimes I find a yearning for the quiet life The country air and all of its joys But badgers couldn't compensate at twice the price For just another night with the boys, oh yeah And boys will be boys will be boys They say love's a gamble hard to win, easy lose What's the chance you'll ever make hay? If life is your table and fate is the wheel Then let the chips fall where they may In modern times the modern way And as I was drifting past the Northern Lights I heard those slinky sirens wail, oooh So look out sailor when you hear them croon You'll never be the same again, oh no Their crazy music drives you insane this way So love me leave me do what you will Who knows what tomorrow might bring Learn from your mistakes is my only advice And stay cool is still the main rule Don't take yourself for a fool Too much cheesecake too soon Old money's better than new No mention in the latest Tribune And don't let this happen to you
