paroles de chanson How Can You Tell You Got It (If You Don’t Ever Give It Away) - David Soul

I was sailing in the Caribbean
When I found myself in Puget Sound
I never was a real good sailor anyhow
Then I ran into an island station
Who told me only give and go
All the people they grab it together
And give it all away
People handing out beads and blankets
People handing out food and juice
People dealing in Caribou both new and used
But you have found a sight to see now
Like your Costa merry holiday
All the people they grab it together
And give it all away and they say
How can you tell you got it
If you don't ever give it away?
How can you tell you got it
If you don't ever give it away?
You know there ain't no doubt about it
Was a crazy thing to say (to say)
How can you tell you got it
If you don't ever give it away?
"Hey, who let him in here?"
Round the corner came an island maiden
Who said some things I could not understand
So I stood there like a total creep
With my heart in my hand
She kept me walking by the foamy water
And we lay beneath a dug-out canoe
She gave me such a good castation
That I gotta pass it on to you and she say
"Hey, Louis come on over here
Listen to this guy he's alight"
"Harry, I'm stuck on the phone
And the operator won't give me my dime back"
"Ain't Miami Beach a wonderful place?"
"How can you tell... one more time"
How can you tell you got it
(I don't know if I wanna try this one)
If you don't ever give it away?
How can you tell you got it
(Let somebody else take it, here I wanna give it away)
If you don't ever give it away?
(Alright let's go for another one huh)
"Help, Louis, help"
"Come back here Louis listen to this guy
They're almost done with the record"
"Now I want you to hear as much as you
Possibly can ya know, help!"
How can you tell you got it
If you don't ever give it away?
How can you tell you got it
If you don't ever give it away?
You know there ain't no doubt about it
Was a crazy thing to say
How can you tell you got it
If you don't ever give it away?
