Ballad of the Last Five Years

Gary lives with Rosie

Be Bop got something old and something new

Mmm, baby darlin'

Gary lives with Rosie

Be Bop got something old and something new

Hey, watch 'em run away

I got something fine for you every minute now

If you wanna sit right down and stick it all right through

Hey, watch 'em run around

Gettin' tired of Johnny

And all the big boys from N.Y.C

Hey, hey, watch 'em run around

Gettin' tired of Johnny and Sally and Felix and Eddie

And all the big boys from N.Y.C

Hey, hey, watch 'em run around

They say "Jump on board, pretty baby"

And I don't know, but

It seem like it might be a pretty good buzz to me

Hey, here they go away

They'll help you and they'll hurt you

You're asked to leave so much behind

Hey, watch 'em run away

They'll help you and they'll hurt you and help you and hurt you

You're asked to leave so goddamn much behind

Hey, watch 'em roll away

They say forget about tomorrow

And concentrate on everything you know you're gonna find

Hey, hey, here they go away

So, move over, red robin

Have you got room for one more that just can't seem to win?

There's no sense denying

That's your best reason 'round for crying

Those days will never be 'round again

Oh, move over, red robin

Have you got room for one more that just can't seem to win?

There's no sense denying

That's your best reason on Earth for crying

Those days will never be 'round again

There's Jackie and there's Brian

Then there's four, then there's five and then a couple more

Hey, hey, watch 'em run around

There's Jackie and there's Brian

Then there's four, then there's five and then a couple more

Uh-uh, watch 'em run around

You be a good boy and don't drink too much

I'll show you something

Maybe one trick later on, maybe a couple more

Hey, hey, hey

So, step right up and put your music where your mouth is

Pretty boys can make room for one more that just can't seem to win

There's no sense denying

That's the reason they found ya' crying

Your chance will never come 'round again

Why don't ya' move over, red robin?

Have you got room for one more that just can't seem to win?

There's no sense denying

That's your best reason on Earth for crying

Those days will never be 'round again

But I'll, I'll help you in the meantime

Figure out just what how much they're worth when they're gone

Hey, hey, watch 'em run away

I'll help you out in the meantime

To total up just what they're worth when they're gone

Hey, watch 'em run away

You don't get it right the first time, pretty baby

I'll help you take one more crack at it much, much later on

Hey, now, hey, hey, yeah, you come right down

Gary lives with Rosie

Be Bop got something old and something new

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Gary lives with Rosie

Be Bop got something old and something new

Hey, watch 'em run away

I got something fine for you every minute now

You wanna sit right down and stick it all right through

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Gettin' tired of Johnny

And all the big boys from N.Y.C

Hey, hey, watch 'em run around

Gettin' tired, gettin' tired, gettin' tired, gettin' tired of Johnny

And all the big boys from N.Y.C

Hey, hey, watch 'em run around
