White Man's Melody Lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

In the bosom of europa 

Little liza was caressed 

By the music of the angels 

Playing underneath her dress 

She saw the great caruso 

And that's when she fell in love 

She'd think of him as elvis 

If she knew who elvis was 

Spinning round and round 

You can hear her moan 

She's all by herself 

But she's not alone 

Wonderful things happen to me 

Whenever I sing that white man's melody 

Wonderful wave - wash over me 

Whenever I sing that white man's melody 

By the shores of the gitchee goomee 

She was floating on her bed 

She was deaming of al jolson 

And what she thought he said 

He was looking in the mirror 

He was putting on the paint 

Said the hardest thing about this job 

Is being what you ain't 

Just an old white man 

In a strange new world 

Can you come out tonight 

Little buffalo girl 

Wonderful things happen to me 

Whenever I sing that white man's melody 

Wonderful wave - wash over me 

Whenever I sing that white man's melody 

From the loins of the liberace 

Sprang a million little tunes 

And they whirled around eliza 

Like so many little moons 

Every jewel held a secret 

Every flourish held a clue 

As he held her in a rapture 

Singing I'll be seeing you 

Wonderful things happen to me 

Whenever I sing that white man's melody 

Wonderful wave - wash over me 

Whenever I sing that white man's melody
