Saloogy

(альбом: I Hear Trumpets Blow - 1966)

People, this is the game of Saloogy!

One kid steals another's hat
And teases him, won't give it back
Throws it to another guy
Hatless boy he's gonna cry
The things that I want most
Are just out of my reach
And my life is a game of Saloogy, Saloogy, Saloogy

When I was a little kid
My father taught me to think big
And until this very day
The things I'm wanting are so far away
The things that I want most
Are just out of my reach
And my life is a game
Yes my life is a game of Saloogy

Oh many girls have come my way
But none of them have thought to stay
Guess I never really cared
Cause most of them were really bad
For the girl that I want most
Is just out of my reach
And my life is a game of Saloogy, Saloogy, Saloogy

If you can't get what you want today
Saloogy is the game you'll have to play
