Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He walks along, singing his fairy song
Picking up magic that grows at his feet
She says the same, her peculiar way
Dreaming good fortune on everyone's street
[Verse 2]
Say, hey, have you heard? Blue whiskey's the rage
I'll send you a jug in the morning
It is absurd to live in a cage
You know there's got to be something better
[Verse 3]
As they go by, don't look with eagle's eyes
Smile on your jailers until they grow weak
Nothing can compare to something that's almost there
To tear up all madness that all of us seek
[Verse 4]
Say, hey, have you heard? Blue whiskey's the rage
I'll send you a jug in the morning
It is absurd to live in a cage
You know there's got to be something better
Written by: Barry Mann, Gerry Goffin
