A Good Thing Songtext
von Gino Vannelli

Pretty woman sittin′ wishbone in the window
Queen of the Wal- Inn
She flashed me ten fingers five times
I'm guessing
Fifty bones all in
I might have boned her
If not for destiny calling
Walking the Dutch Beat
Yeah I beat the rocks till I dropped
Into a coffee shop
But hey what′s in a name
Cause no go for a cuppa Joe
So hello Mary Jane
I didn't get religion
But it felt like heaven all the same
Walking the Dutch Beat
I followed my star to the river Rhine
Saw two Midnight Cowboys riding high
Folks strolled by
No one even blinked an eye


I said my oh my
And the moon and the stars shine on
Life is beautiful
When you're halfway gone
Walking the Dutch Beat
Till the light of day
A twilight cruise along the watercauseway
Taking a Spanish Walk
Silly grin on my face
All the time in the world
Not a moment to waste
Got to catch a train to no particular place
All the time in the world
Not a moment to waste
I thought I heard the fat lady sing
When ring-a-ding-ding came a long distance call
Voice on the other side said boy go
To the mountain where there ain′t none at all
So I tramped through the lowlands
Like the great fool Percival
A princess in a tower
Young flower of my heart planned
I cried Rapunzel Rapunzel
Let your hair down for your prince to climb
But a buzz cut
Left me quite a vibe
Walking the Dutch Beat
Life skipped me like a stone across the sea
I found my other self but I let the bird free
Left me in tears but all tears
They dry eventually
My oh my
And the moon and the stars shine on
Life is beautiful
When you′re halfway gone
Walking the Dutch Beat
Till the light of day
A twilight cruise along the watercauseway
Taking a Spanish Walk
Silly grin on my face
All the time in the world
Not a moment to waste
Got to catch a train to no particular place
All the time in the world
Not a moment to waste
All the time in the world
Not a moment to waste
All the time in the world
Not a moment to waste
I got to catch a train to no particular place
All the time in the world
Not a moment to waste
All the time in the world
Got all the time in the world
