CI've got a long way to walk
CCan't afford my next meal
I Dtell a few lies but my hunger is real
And it won't Gmean a thing in a hundred years
GNo, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
GMademoiselle tell me do you play
GWell, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay
CI watch her walk away in haste
DThere's just no accounting for some people's taste,
And it won't Gmean a thing in a hundred years
GNo, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
GBig angry man in the doorway there
GJust keep on walking like I don't care
CWhy you giving such an evil eye
Could it be yoDu were ignored by every passerby

Key of G

The sun is warm as the day is long

I just got the feeling I can do no wrong

I've got a long way to walk

Can't afford my next meal

I tell a few lies but my hunger is real

And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

Mademoiselle tell me do you play

Well, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay

I watch her walk away in haste

There's just no accounting for some people's taste,

And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

Big angry man in the doorway there

Just keep on walking like I don't care

Why you giving such an evil eye

Could it be you were ignored by every passerby

And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

Play in the park for tobacco and food

Then I excuse myself but they think I'm rude

Tourist don't want me to end his show

But this colorful attraction got places to go

And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

[Sax Solo]

F G

Sit at the pier watch the sun go down

Another lost little boy in a big old town

I want to laugh I want to cry

But no matter how hard I may try

It won't mean a thing in a hundred years

No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

It won't mean a thing in a hundred years

No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
