1
Down on Cyprus Avenue
2
With a childlike vision leaping into view
3
Clicking, clacking of the high heeled shoe
4
Ford and Fitzroy, Madame George
5
Marching with the soldier boy behind
6
He's much older now with hat on drinking wine
7
And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through
8
The cool night air like Shalimar
9
And outside they're making all the stops
10
The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops
11
Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
12
Happy taken Madame George
13
That's when you fall
14
Whoa, that's when you fall
15
Yeah, that's when you fall
16
When you fall into a trance
17
Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
18
With your folded arms and history books
19
You glance into the eyes of Madame George
20
And you think you found the bag
21
You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
22
In a corner playing dominoes in drag
23
The one and only Madame George
24
And then from outside the frosty window raps
25
She jumps up and says, Lord, have mercy I think it's the cops
26
And immediately drops everything she gots
27
Down into the street below
28
And you know you gotta go
29
On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row
30
Throwing pennies at the bridges down below
31
And the rain, hail, sleet, and snow
32
Say goodbye to Madame George
33
Dry your eye for Madame George
34
Wonder why for Madame George
35
And as you leave, the room is filled with music
36
Laughing, music, dancing, music all around the room
37
And all the little boys come around, walking away from it all
38
So cold, and as you're about to leave
39
She jumps up and says, hey love, you forgot your gloves
40
And the gloves to love, to love the gloves
41
To say goodbye to Madame George
42
Dry your eye for Madame George
43
Wonder why for Madame George
44
Dry your eyes for Madame George
45
Say goodbye in the wind and the rain on the back street
46
In the backstreet, in the back street
47
Say goodbye to Madame George
48
In the backstreet, in the back street, in the back street
49
Down home, down home in the back street
50
Gotta go, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
51
Dry your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye
52
Say goodbye to Madame George
53
And the loves to love to love the love
54
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
55
Say goodbye goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to Madame George
56
Dry your eye for Madame George
57
Wonder why for Madame George
58
The love's to love, the love's to love, the love's to love
59
Say goodbye, goodbye
60
Get on the train
61
Get on the train, the train, the train
62
This is the train, this is the train
63
Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
64
Get on the train, get on the train
