On and On Songtext
von Jonathan Coulton

Down in Jamaica, they got lots of pretty women
Steal your money, then they break your heart
Lonesome Sue, she′s in love with ol' Sam
Take him from the fire into the frying pan

On and on
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles when she feels like crying

On and on
On and on
On and on

Poor old Jimmy, sits alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman kiss another man
So, he takes a ladder, steals the stars from the sky
Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry

On and on
He just keeps on trying
And he smiles when he feels like crying


On and on
On and on
On and on

When the first time is the last time
It can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight, don′t let her say goodnight

Got the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the sand
My woman's left me for some other man
Aw, but I don't care, I′ll just dream and stay tan
Toss up my heart and see where it lands

On and on
I just keep on trying
And I smile when I feel like dying


On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
