Come on now, Frankie, let's get it right You know you shouldn't be drinking so late at night But I've got this candle, you've got a light Let's stay up till morning See I've known a few fellows that had the blues And I know they could shake 'em if they wanted to So let's get some ice and I'll bring the booze And we can sit by the water Lately I've been thinking 'bout some people I know With their hands on their hearts and their eyes down their nose Just looking at the world like it's something they hold Trying to make it do something And I just look at that lady, she's just standing out there Looking out at the water, she ain't lonesome or scared It's like she's known something for hundreds of years It's a candle she's burning Oh come on now, Frankie, let's sing those cobblestone blues With the soles of our shoes singing I don't care about money I care about the things people lose and the people that take 'em I care about the things people know and the world they're making Come on now, Frankie, let's get it right Let's hit the bodega 'fore they close for the night Tide's coming in and the Moon's out of sight And it looks like he's singing those blues Singing I don't care about money Singing I don't care about money Singing I don't care about money Oh, I don't care about money
