Well, it's back to the battle today
But I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause tonight we'll be crazy as kooks
I'm dancing, grooving
This lovely wooden floor
The tom-toms are beating on
Eyes are so sore
There is still sand in my suitcase
There is still salt in my teeth
I kissed her in the window
She covered up her face
She's pretty as a cherry
But I'm far, far too late
Someone said, "man, let's take a drive"
So here I am
Oh, so here I am
I crashed up a party
Nickels and dimes
A handful of strangers
All friends of mine
I know that you're married
Ring's on your hand
So I didn't stay 'til the end
I don't need a Christmas card
You don't need to write
Last Christmas was black and blue
But this year is white
The voice repeats, repeats a sound so deep in my head
Goodnight
Keep your shirt on
You can leave the way you came
