Frankie Lane, he was singing Jezebel 00:22

I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel 00:29

I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl 00:37

So won't you let me see 00:53

I said won't you let me see 00:57

In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust 04:14

And all my faith to see 04:22

I said all my faith to see 04:26

I said all my faith to see 04:29

Her naked body 04:41

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

作词 : Leonard Cohen
作曲 : Phil Spector
Frankie Lane, he was singing Jezebel
I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel
I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl
I said, Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will
So won't you let me see
I said won't you let me see
I said won't you let me see
Your naked body?

Just dance me to the dark side of the gym
Chances are I'll let you do most anything
I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice
And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice
Ah but no you cannot see
She said no you cannot see
She said no you cannot see
My naked body

So We're dancing close, the band is playing Stardust
Balloons and paper streamers, they're floating down on us
She says, You've got a minute left to fall in love
In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust
And all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see
Her naked body
