Jack Palance Songtext
von Mighty Sparrow

It′s a disgrace and a burning shame
But I don't know who to blame
A big disgrace and a burning shame
But I don′t know who to blame
These amount of old woman in the night club
Hustling for a bob
Stand in the way of a younger girl
But it's time they retire, they too old

Believe me,
Caroline and Josephine, making more than fifty
And I'm sure without any doubt, she could be meh granny
Still they walking ′bout at night
With they face like Jack Palance
Go to France! Move!
Step aside and give your daughters a chance
I′m looking for youth, not experience


I can remember last year Carnival
In front the cathedral
Tantie Mildred stand up, cool as ever
I thought she was a beggar
So I give a shilling to Mildred
Saying "Mama, buy some bread"
She turn around and put she han' on she waist
And she cuss me upsided down in the place

I tell you
But if you see the woman, brother, she more than sixty
And I′m sure without any doubt, she could be meh granny
Still she walking 'bout at night
She old face like Jack Palance
Go to France! Move!
Step aside and give young people a chance
Oh I′m looking for youth, not experience

Drinking in the night club with me bosom friend
Who come down to spend the weekend
But when I look back, who you think I see?
One of my family
"Good Heavens," I shout out, "Mama Jacob,
What the heck you doing in the night club?"
Same time the rock and roll start to play
So she hook on to a Yankee and break away


I tell you
But if you see the woman, brother, she more than seventy
And I'm sure without any doubt, she could be meh granny
Still she walking ′bout at night
She pruned face like Jack Palance
Go to France! Move!
Girl, step aside and give the Sparrow a chance
Oh yes I'm looking for youth, not experience

Take it away!

This is what I notice the other day
It's a funny thing to say
The Government really should pass a law
Against women sixty and more
Brother, you better take it from me
If they do that, the night clubs would be empty
So, leave them alone and don′t get in a rage
When a Yankee drunk, he don′t study age

I tell you
Whether you are 24, 25 or 80
I am sure it will not interest a drunken Yankee
For when you drink your scotch and soda
It doesn't matter
How old she is
As long as the Yankee get what it is
