Farewell Angelina the bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow
Farewell Angelina the sky is on fire and I must go

There's no need for anger there's no need for blame
There's nothing to prove everything's still the same
Just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea
Means farewell Angelina the sky is a trembling and I must leave

Now the jacks and the queens have forsaked the courtyard
And fifty-two gypsies now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina the sky is a folding I'll see you in a while

See the cross-eyed pirates sittin' perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors they clap and they cheer with each blast
Farewell Angelina the sky's changing colors and I must leave fast

King Kong little elves on the rooftops they dance
Valentino type tangos while the makeup man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone
It's farewell Angelina the sky is embarrassed and I must be gone

The machine guns are roarin' and the puppets heave rocks
The fiends they nail time bombs to the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like I will never deny it
Farewell Angelina the sky is erupting and I must go where it's quiet
