Kashka from Baghdad
Lives in sin, they say,
With another man,
But no one knows who.
Old friends never call there.
Some wonder if life's
Inside at all--
If there's life inside at all.
But we know the lady who rents the room.
She catches them calling a la lune.
At night
They're seen
Laughing,
Loving.
They know
The way
To be
(No chords)
Happy-y-y-y-y-y-y.
(Same chord progression from verse to refrain)
They never go for walks.
Maybe it's because
The moon's not bright enough.
There's light in love, you see.
I watch their shadows,
Tall and slim,
In the window opposite.
I long to be with them.
'Cause when all the alley-cats come out,
You can hear music from Kashka's house.
At night
They're seen
Laughing,
Loving.
They know
The way
To be
Happy-y-y-y-y-y-y-y.
Utcha every night.
Don't you know they're seen?
Won't you let me laugh?
Let me in your love.
(Repeat three more times ending on Dm chord)
