Lyrics for Pirates (So Long Lonely Avenue)
Come on, Joey, get out of school We got places to go A '57 Lincoln you got a radio that hurts And the girls like to touch it Just to find out if it works Don't look at me It wasn't me Joey live on the edge of the corner Living on the run I like to ride in the middle I'm just tryin' to have some fun Until the pirates come And I won't need a pilot 'Cause I got a pirate who might sail Somewhere, I heard, far away You wait for me So I'm holding on To your rainbow sleeves Well, goodbye, boys My buddy boys Oh, my sad-eyed Sinatras It's a cold globe around the sea You keep the shirt that I bought ya But I know you'll get the chance to make it And nothing's gonna stop you You just reach right out and take it You say, "So long, lonely avenue" Hey, so long, lonely avenue Well, I'll see you there Wait and see Be lookin' for me Just like you Just like me, yeah
