lyrics

tomorrow, tomorrow i'll worry
i'll grow lines on my brow and my chin
but tonight, tonight - o, let's hurry
i can't wait for the band to begin

aujourd'hui cheri, i'm yours
who knows about tomorrow?
today you delight
and for the rest of the night
tonight, tonight, i'm yours!

tomorrow the landlord may trap me
and he'll cry for his pence and his pound
but tonight, tonight i feel happy
how I love that accordion sound

[chorus]

they say that my heaven awaits me
if i'm chaste and remember to pray
but tonight salvation escapes me
so let's dance when the band starts to play

[chorus]

there may have been lovers before you
with fortunes and sweet words and rye
but tonight i only adore you
all the others i'll gladly deny
tonight i'll say you're my only
over glasses of whiskey and gin
but tomorrow i'll leave you so lonely
so let's sing that refrain once again

[chorus]

someday i may sleep in the gutter
and one day i'll sleep under the lawn
'no admittance!' st. peter may utter
but all's well if you sing when i'm gone!

[chorus x 2]

tonight, tonight, i'm yours!

Alacartoona Kansas City, Missouri

Alacartoona's stage show is a visual extension of their all-original songbook. Utilizing a stripped down ensemble of accordion, bass, and drums, with the occasional guitar or brass, they bring to life vivid tales of love and loss, of bedrooms and back alleys, of the solitude and the camaraderie of sex, drugs and cabaret. ... more
