Song for Cornelis

Ah the drink and the fun The singer, the song Sing almighty how long Throwin' shapes in the sun What strange men we become Sing almighty how long Then you waste in the pale afternoon And it's not gonna stop sometime soon But back at the hotel You're not feeling too well Sing almighty how long Who can tell? Really, what's it to you If it's false or if it's true Sing almighty how What good does it do? When your singing is through And they ask on to you Sing almighty how Really, how do you do? Then you shake at the tip of a pen And you're not going through this again Does it keep you alert? Do you know where it hurts? Sing almighty how long What's the worth? But you'll risk it again for a song It sounds right, it cannot be wrong Your blood and your senses are strong And you gotta keep movin' along Yeah, you're riskin' it again But you're not doing it for them No, you're almighty how long Your own man Sing it almighty how long Your own song
