I'll Have My Way With You, Frankie

Frankie was a doughboy, playing tambourine

Looked like he'd been doin' time

Always very cheerful, a dimple in his chin

A trademark crocodile smile

All of a sudden he was everybody's friend

Among those with money to spend



And he'd come to me being all sugar in my face

Sugar in my face and la-[ha-ha]-ugh

Come to me being all sugar in my face

Sugar in my face and la-[ha-ha]-ugh

I'll have my way with you, Frankie

I'll have my way with you, Frankie

I'll have my way with you, »Frankie boy«



Frankie was a crooner, a karaoke king

»My way« was his pièce de résistence

Working his magic, doing his thing

When he saw my sister dance

All of a sudden they were both out of sight

'Til my sister came a-running with tears in her eyes



And then he comes to me being all sugar in my face

Sugar in my face and la-[ha-ha]-ugh

Comes to me being all sugar in my face

Sugar in my face and la-[ha-ha]-ugh

I'll have my way with you, Frankie

I'll have my way with you, Frankie

I'll have my way with you, »Frankie boy«



And now

Your end is nigh

Your time to cry

Your final curtain



Tonight

I'll make it clear

I'll put an end

To all your hurting

I'll have my way with you, Frankie

I'll have my way with you, Frankie

I'll have my way with you, »Frankie boy«

Oh, »Frankie boy«
