Jack Palance - Mighty Sparrow

It’s a disgrace and a burning shame

But I don’t know who to blame

A big disgrace and a burning shame

But I don’t know who to blame

These amount of old woman in the night club

Hustling for a bob

Stand in the way of a younger girl

But it’s time they retire, they too old

Believe me

Caroline and Josephine, making more than fifty

And I’m sure without any doubt, she could be meh granny

Still they walking 'bout at night

With they face like Jack Palance

Go to France!

Move!

Step aside and give your daughters a chance

I’m looking for youth, not experience

I can remember last year Carnival

In front the cathedral

Tantie Mildred stand up, cool as ever

I thought she was a beggar

So I give a shilling to Mildred

Saying «Mama, buy some bread»

She turn around and put she han' on she waist

And she cuss me upsided down in the place

I tell you

But if you see the woman, brother, she more than sixty

And I’m sure without any doubt, she could be meh granny

Still she walking 'bout at night

She old face like Jack Palance

Go to France!

Move!

Step aside and give young people a chance

Oh I’m looking for youth, not experience

Drinking in the night club with me bosom friend

Who come down to spend the weekend

But when I look back, who you think I see?

One of my family

«Good Heavens,» I shout out, «Mama Jacob

What the heck you doing in the night club?»

Same time the rock and roll start to play

So she hook on to a Yankee and break away

I tell you

But if you see the woman, brother, she more than seventy

And I’m sure without any doubt, she could be meh granny

Still she walking 'bout at night

She pruned face like Jack Palance

Go to France!

Move!

Girl, step aside and give the Sparrow a chance

Oh yes I’m looking for youth, not experience

Take it away!

This is what I notice the other day

It’s a funny thing to say

The Government really should pass a law

Against women sixty and more

Brother, you better take it from me

If they do that, the night clubs would be empty

So, leave them alone and don’t get in a rage

When a Yankee drunk, he don’t study age

I tell you

Whether you are 24, 25 or 80

I am sure it will not interest a drunken Yankee

For when you drink your scotch and soda

It doesn’t matter

How old she is

As long as the Yankee get what it is
