Night By Night

It's a beggar's life, said the Queen of Spain
 But don't tell it to a poor man
 'Cause he's got to kill for every thrill
 The best he can
 Said everywhere around me
 I see jealousy and mayhem
 Because no men have
 Their peace of mind to carry them
 I ain't got the heart
 To lose another's fight
 So until my ship comes in
 I'll live night by night
 The joker tried to tell me
 I could cut it in this rube town
 When he tried to hang that sign on me
 I said take it down
 When the dawn patrol, got to tell you twice
 They don't do it with a shotgun
 Said, I'm cashing in this ten-cent life
 For another one
 I don't really care
 If it's wrong or if it's right
 But until my ship comes in
 I'll live night by night
 Well, I don't really care
 If it's wrong or if it's right
 But until my ship comes in
 I'll live night by night
 Night by night
