about

A combo of an original written by Tim Cassell and a classic jazz standard

lyrics

"On the edge of town is a sunset lounge, where boys, you know I've seen it all
Step through the door, that'll be the start of the fall
There's whisky and Gin, it's a place of sin. There's gamblin' and poker down the hall
And the ladies in lace, well boys, it's the start of the fall

But watch out for the Tattooed Lady, for she will steal your soul
La la la la la la la la la la

The piano man bangs out a dirty old rag while the dancer spins a crimson parasol
Hypnotic galore, well boys, it's the start of the fall

Narcotics swoon in a dimly lit room, low moans muffled through the wall.
Pick your poison boys because here comes the start of the fall

But watch out for the Tattooed Lady, for she will steal your soul
Fa la la la la la la la la la

Well the old man ticks while the young men sip and the sirens keep calling their calls
Step through the door, and boys, it's the start of the fall

But watch out for the Tattooed Lady, for she will steal your soul
Fa la la la la la la la la la"

"Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your momma's good lookin'
So hush now little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings you're going to rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and take to the sky
But until that morning there ain't nothing going to harm you
With your mommy and daddy standing by.

Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your momma's good lookin'
So hush now little baby
Don't you cry"

"Jazz"
