One day Mr Solomons said There was a little black cloud over your head Anyway you´ve received a threat Or so he understands I´m a country lad but I see it too
How much it´s got to you And now you´re slipping down Into the shadowlands
My life´s the fighting game I keep my cool, I stay the same We never mind how bad it is In fact we like all your Showbiz shenanigans And Jack wants to help you out Is what it´s all about With Mr Solomons
We like the flashbulbs, pop, pop, pop All the razzamatazz We like the big nights, the West End lights And all of that jazz
And you can bet Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley You can bet Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley He signed me as a prospect, see Then something let go in my knee But I´m no clapped out punchateer Like some of the other ones Promoting´s all about the gate Information´s worth its weight I´m the eyes and ears and it´s great With Mr Solomons
Daytimes I´ll make the rounds In every caff and every pub In this part of town There´s a mug or a pug And always someone blathering
It´s gossip calypso all day long Who´s the money going on Who´s been training wrong Got hurt or struggling
Well I might have a couple with a cornerman The one with the sponge and bucket I´ve maybe got a bottle for a club doorman Tickets for a waitress in my pocket
She said ‘It´s me or the ring, Jack´ years ago So he swapped his gloves for Savile Row Jack´s no pushover though He likes that story told Behind the pinstripe buttonhole Behind the yellow rose Beats a heart of gold Now he´s got me something new
Which is to look out for you I said, ‘I´d be happy to, Mr Solomons´ One day Mr Solomons said ‘London, son, we have got some hard pavements´ There´s more to the man than the motto read On the wall above his head ‘Winners win, losers make their own arrangements´
You can bet Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley Yeah, you can bet Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley You can bet Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley Yeah, you can bet Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley
