Frankie

Come on now, Frankie, let's get it right
You know you shouldn't be drinking so late at night
But I've got this candle, you've got a light
Let's stay up till morning

See I've known a few fellows that had the blues
And I know they could shake 'em if they wanted to
So let's get some ice and I'll bring the booze
And we can sit by the water

Lately I've been thinking 'bout some people I know
With their hands on their hearts and their eyes down their nose
Just looking at the world like it's something they hold
Trying to make it do something

And I just look at that lady, she's just standing out there
Looking out at the water, she ain't lonesome or scared
It's like she's known something for hundreds of years
It's a candle she's burning

Oh come on now, Frankie, let's sing those cobblestone blues
With the soles of our shoes singing I don't care about money
I care about the things people lose and the people that take 'em
I care about the things people know and the world they're making

Come on now, Frankie, let's get it right
Let's hit the bodega 'fore they close for the night
Tide's coming in and the Moon's out of sight
And it looks like he's singing those blues
Singing I don't care about money
Singing I don't care about money
Singing I don't care about money
Oh, I don't care about money
