Tzigane, M. 76a Songtext
von Maurice Ravel

I get camping eyes in the final hour
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
The fuss they make, you′d swear they were buying a car
They always moan, moan it's not so cheap
Cheaper still, cheaper still down the street
Lose my rag and tell them take your bag and shop down there
Closing down, they′re closing down another road
One way, system steals the show
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
There′s more life, more life, more life in a tramp′s vest
The flower man sits down in the street
Surrounded by stock, he bought it back last week
Bring back the ladies wearing lipstick on their teeth


Make up, we make up a crappy joke
Sit back, relax, you can have a smoke
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp′s vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp′s vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp′s vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp's vest
I get camping eyes in the final hour
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away
There′s more life, more life, more life in a tramp′s vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp′s vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp′s vest
There's more life, more life, more life in a tramp′s vest
