Al Bowlly - Nicky the Greek (Has Gone) lyrics
At night a face keeps haunting me; It lingers in my memory. Tonight I seem to realise, I miss the dark brown smiling eyes. Nicky the Greek has gone; Nicky the Greek has gone. I miss his cry of, 'Peanuts, my lady; peanuts I have for you'. Standing against the wall, Not more than five feet tall, You'll find him there in all kinds of weather, Smiling to one and all. He was no Adonis, I declare, a man you'd meet most anywhere, Yet deep down in my heart I know he's back in the land where olives grow. Somehow I want to cry; I know the reason why: Nicky the Greek has gone and I'm sorry we didn't say goodbye. Ya ssou, ya ssou Nikaiki [Goodbye, goodbye Nicky]; Nicky, you mean a lot to me. Ya ssou, ya ssou Nikaiki [Goodbye, goodbye Nicky]; Bless you, wherever you may be. He was no Adonis, I declare, a man you'd meet most anywhere, Yet deep down in my heart I know he's back in the land where olives grow. Somehow I want to cry; I know the reason why: Nicky the Greek has gone and I'm sorry we didn't say goodbye. Ya ssou, ya ssou Nikaiki [Goodbye, goodbye Nicky]; Nicky, you mean a lot to me. Ya ssou, ya ssou Nikaiki [Goodbye, goodbye Nicky]; Bless you, wherever you may be. |
