Bilbao Song

Bilbao Song
music by Kurt Weill (right)
lyric by Berthold Brecht

That old Bilbao moon, I won't forget it soon.
That old Bilbao moon; just like a big balloon.
That old Bilbao moon would rise above the dune
While Tony's Beach Saloon rocked with an old time tune...

We'd sing along the whole night long and I can still recall
Those were the greatest; those were the greatest,
Those were the greatest nights of them all...

No paint was on the door, the grass grew through the floor
Of Tony's two by four on the Bilbao shore;
But there were friends galore and there was beer to pour
And moonlight on the shore; that old Bilbao shore...

That old Bilbao moon; I won't forget it soon.
That old Bilbao moon; just like a big balloon.
That old Bilbao moon would rise above the dune
While Tony's Beach Saloon rocked with an old time tune...

We'd sing all night with all our might and I can still recall
Those were the greatest; those were the greatest;
Those were the greatest nights of them all...
