Tekst piosenki
The jigolo’s jumpin salty
ain’t no trade out on the streets
half past the unlucky
and the hawk’s a front-row seat
dressed in full orquestration
stage door johnnys got to pay
and sent him home
talking bout the one that got away
could a been on easy street
could a been a wheel
with irons in the fire
and all them business deals
But the last of the big-time losers
shouted before he drove away
I’ll be right back as soon as I crack
the one that got away
the ambulance drivers don’t give a shit
they just want to get off work
and the short stop and the victim
have already gone berserk
and the shroud-tailor measures him
for a deep-six holiday
the stiff is froze, the case is closed
on the one that got away
Jim Crow’s directing traffic
with them cemetery blues
with them peculiar looking trousers
them old Italian shoes
the wooden kimona was all ready
to drop in San Francisco Bay
but now he’s mumbling something
all about the one that got away
Costello was the champion
at the St. Moritz Hotel
and the best this side of Fairfax,
reliable sources tell
but his reputation is at large
and he’s at Ben Frank’s every day
waiting for the one that got away
he’s got a snake skin sportshirt,
and he looks like Vincent Price
with a little piece of chicken
and he’s carving off a slice
but someone tipped her off
she’ll be doing a Houdini now any day
she shook his hustle
and a Greyhound bus’ll
take the one that got away
Andre is at the piano
behind the Ivar in the sewers
with a buck a shot for pop tunes,
and a fin for guided tours
He could of been in Casablanca
he stood in line out there all day
but now he’s spilling whiskey
and learning songs about a one that got away
well I’ve lost my equilibrium
my car keys and my pride
tattoo parlor’s warm
and so I huddle there inside
the grinding of the buzz saw
whatchuwanthathingtosay
just don’t misspell her name
buddy she’s the one that got away
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Jigolo ' s jumpin
ain ' t no trade out on the streets
"half past the unlucky"
/ align = "left" /
dressed in full orquestration
stage door johnnys got to pay
i odesłał go do domu.
talking bout the one that got away
could A been on easy street
could A been a wheel
with irons in the fire
i wszystkie te interesy
Ale ostatni z wielkich przegranych
krzyczał, zanim odjechał.
Zaraz wracam, jak tylko pęknę.
the one that got away
kierowcy karetek mają to w dupie.
chcą tylko skończyć pracę.
krótki postój i ofiara
już oszalałeś.
a Całun-krawiec mierzy go
for a Deep-six holiday
sztywniak zamarzł, sprawa zamknięta.
on the one that got away
Jim Crow - reżyseria
with them cemetery blues
/ align = "left" /
stare włoskie buty
Drewniana kimona była gotowa.
to drop in San Francisco Bay
ale teraz coś mamrocze.
all about the one that got away
Costello był mistrzem
w hotelu St. Moritz
i najlepsze po tej stronie Fairfax,
wiarygodne źródła podają
ale jego reputacja jest na wolności.
Codziennie jest u Bena Franka.
waiting for the one that got away
# he ' s got a snake skin sportshirt # ,
i wygląda jak Vincent Price
z małym kawałkiem kurczaka
a on kroi kawałek
ale ktoś dał jej cynk.
będzie robić Houdini lada dzień.
she shook his hustle
i autobus Greyhound ' a
take the one that got away
Andre przy fortepianie
za Ivarem w kanałach
/ align = "left" / ,
i płetwonurek do wycieczek z przewodnikiem
Mógł być w Casablance.
stał tam w kolejce cały dzień.
ale teraz rozlewa whiskey.
and learning songs about a one that got away
straciłem równowagę.
moje kluczyki i moja duma
salon tatuażu jest ciepły
i tak się tuliłam w środku
szlifowanie piły brzęczkowej
/ align = "left" /
tylko nie przeliteruj jej imienia.
buddy she ' s the one that got away
