Song lyrics
Take a look at my girlfriend
Cause she's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo across the water
I'd like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cause everyone's a millionaire

I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothin' better to do

Don't you look at my girlfriend (girlfriend)
Cause she's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend (girlfriend)
I never seem to get a lot
(What she got, not a lot)

Take a jumbo across the water
I'd like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

I love his voice.
And the trombone that appears throughout, is brilliant.
And the sax, i love their use of instruments.

I've never thought this is an old song -- I only heard it in part sung in that Gym Class Heroes song.. So you can just imagine how low my jaw dropped seeing how vintage this song is I like it!

Brilliant song! I like it more because of the face that it was sampled in Gym Class Hero's "Cupid's Chokehold", but I find it interesting to hear both the old and new and see how the song has evolved/

It is their best song, in my opinion, these are people's opinions, maybe you don't think it's best, but others do.

No, not the best.. It's a great song (don't understand why nobody want to discuss it), but I think The logical song's better. Love the piano in school too. Do anyone now what the lyric's about?
