lyrics
Help me
send me a sign
send us to find
a wisp
a whimper
Take me
if you are so kind
some danger I spy
with my little eye
Dear Saint Lucy had no eyes
she saw light when there is dark
Oh well, ain't that nice?
Saint Lucy had no eyes
she saw light in the dark
A little bit of this,
a little bit of that,
they say the small things
is where it's at.
A little bit of this,
a little sympathy
for a little girl that cannot see
And I'd never mean to be wrong
But, you can never be sure,
Lucy was but a filthy whore
send me a sign
send us to find
a wisp
a whimper
Take me
if you are so kind
some danger I spy
with my little eye
Dear Saint Lucy had no eyes
she saw light when there is dark
Oh well, ain't that nice?
Saint Lucy had no eyes
she saw light in the dark
A little bit of this,
a little bit of that,
they say the small things
is where it's at.
A little bit of this,
a little sympathy
for a little girl that cannot see
And I'd never mean to be wrong
But, you can never be sure,
Lucy was but a filthy whore
