I saw you out in the streets again takin' chances
Wearing your shark smile and your cat eyed glasses
Drinking and dancing, movin' in the dark
But don't forget now darling that I'm also a cat
I've made my decisions since you made me feel blue
Now an old gypsy lady's curse, honey, is on you
Oh, honey, a gyspy curse
Honey, a gypsy curse
Oh, honey, a gypsy curse
Honey, a gypsy curse on you
An old gypsy lady, she gave me the advice
“There's no turning back”, she said, “so you got to think twice”
Don't know if it's right, but sure it ain't feel wrong
And baby, I gotta say that it's just too strong
“He'll be cursed and tormented, chased by demons and ghosts!”
The only thing that I replied was “Oh, at any cost!”
Honey, a gypsy curse
Oh, honey, a gypsy curse
Honey a gypsy curse
Oh, honey, a gypsy curse on you
You are in big trouble now boy and listen to this
The ritual was sealed with my last kiss
Run if you want, you can't go really far
Maybe struck by a lightening or get hit by a car
I've made my decisions since you made me feel blue
Now an old gypsy lady's curse, honey, is on you
Honey, a gypsy curse
Oh, honey, a gypsy curse
Honey a gypsy curse
Oh, honey, a gypsy curse on you
Frustrated that you cant get out more in the horrible year 2020? You might try Lindy-hopping in your basement. Carolina Reapers Swing is here to help. jwarb
The laid-back groove of the Brooks Prumo Orchestra hits the sweet spot. This is fine swing without any try-hard hype. The studio mix is balanced, and it hops and slides like music should (unlike some other contemporary jazz). "Out of Nowhere" is outstanding: inspired arrangement, knockout playing, genuine emotion. The vocal numbers get better with every listen, and "Blue Lester" has about it a certain sunburn-on-your-skin mint julep nighttime ease. jakespatz
