something somehow Lyrics

I sold my best horse to a marching band

They kept his name but took him back to France

Them and their silly flapper girlfriends

They sat on top and made him march and dance

I sold my paintings to an architect

He paid me half and said he'd calculate the rest

Said he knew a couple Russian friends

Who'd help him out before the summer ends

But god I want it back now

I want it all back now

I'll scrape together something somehow

But god I want it back now

I sold my dresses to an opera star

She said she'd wear em when she sang Lehar

But only one had even got that far

Before she dealt em all for twice the marks

I sold my last breath to a magic man

His shiny teeth told me he had a plan

So I laid down just as the act began

The saw it slipped out of his shakin' hands

So god I want it back now

I want it all back now

I'll scrape together something somehow

Oh god I want it back now
