I've got my money
I've got it here in my hand
O.K. let me tell you
This is how we stand
I have waited so long
But a good thing's never too late
So don't take no chances
Leave nothing to fate
I want to walk tall
In midnight blue
Look good, oh so good
Step out in midnight blue
Midnight blue
I watch the razors
With their class and their style
Dressed to kill, man
Their lives is just one great big smile
And oh I want to be there
When they dish that stuff out
Cool and collected
Man that's what it's all about
So give me, give me...
I want midnight blue
I love midnight
I'm going to step out in midnight blue
Give me, give me, give me midnight blue
I'll walk tall in midnight blue
I'll look good, oh so good...
In midnight blueWriter(s): Kipling/Speaks
By the old Moulmein Pagoda
Looking eastward to the sea
There's a Burma gal a settin'
And I know that she waits for me
And the wind is in those palm trees
And the temple bells they say
Come you back you mother soldier
Come you back to Mandalay, come you back to Mandalay
Come you back to Mandalay
Where the old flotilla lay
I can here those paddles chonkin'
From Rangoon to Mandalay
On the road to Mandalay
Where the flying fishes play
And the dawn comes up like thunder
Out of China across the bay
Ship me somewhere east of Suez
Where the best is like the worst
And there ain't no Ten Commandments
And a cat can raise a thirst
And those crazy bells keep ringing
'Cause it's there that I long to be
By the egg foo yong pagoda
Looking eastward to the see
