  • The girls are hep 'n' the men are divine
    'N' everything is gin and roses
    You are new to me an' I'm so happy
    You can whisper and I will listen
    The world becomes a motion picture
    I got it beat oh I got it licked, yeah
    Rock-a-boy blue
    It seems so sad

    But the film goes dim like a faraway star
    A frozen frame like silver paper
    When the kissing gets very hard
    Just to try and get at something
    When the representatives turn to leaders
    As long as you know as long as you need us
    We'll be there
    You know it's true

    Don't they love like a rock-a-boy should
    Don't they rock like lonely lovers
    Don't they want to make the money
    Don't they want to be the Beatles
    Things ain't clear, they're just transparent
    The trick of the trade is to make them apparently
    Rock-a-boy blue
    You know that I said that you know that

    I learned to live with the beats in the bar
    Made me sick with repetition
    I learned to love that one note samba
    No surprise or definition
    I guess I can learn to love what I used to
    If you can get used to just getting used by
    Rock-a-boy blue
    Baby, then more fool you

    I learned to live with the beats in the bar
    That made me sick with repetition
    I learned to love that one note samba
    No surprise or definition
    I guess I can learn to love what I used to
    If you can get used to just getting used by
    Rock-a-boy blue
    Baby, more fool you Writer/s: Green Gartside
