The Lilac Time - The King And Queen Of The Carioca lyrics

The life is simple, never sinful Never under, understand It's all so painful, non-eventful We can't work it, work it out But we're early birds And it's our turn, turn, turn again The King and Queen of the Carioca Dancing cheek to cheek The King and Queen of the Carioca The dark end of a street Do we need to grow so tall? And long for the King and Queen of the Carioca? I was hungry, I was thirsty Many times I, I have died But you helped me, you vote for charity You fight against the, all the lies 'Cause we're early birds And the times they are a-changing The King and Queen of the Carioca Dancing cheek to cheek The King and Queen of the Carioca The dark end of a street Do we need to grow so tall? And long for the King and Queen of the Carioca? I saw myself die As the band went on playing And Jesus returned And we carried on praying And though we say 'no' We carry on slaying Do we need to grow so tall? And long for the King and Queen of the Carioca?
