On and on Stephen Bishop Down in Jamaica They go 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 ol'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 the some other man Aw, but I don't care I'll just dream and stay tan Toos up my heart to 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
