And it won't mean a thing
Tourist don't want me to end this show
Then I excuse myself but they think I'm rude
And it won't mean a thing
Big angry man in the doorway there
No, won't mean a thing
Play in the park for tobacco and food
Well, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay
In a 100 years
And why you're giving such an evil eye
I tell a few lies but my hunger is real
Mademoiselle tell me, "Do you play?"
Could it be you were ignored by every passerby?
No, it won't mean a thing
It won't mean a thing
There's just no accounting for some people's taste
No, it won't mean a thing
In a 100 years
In a 100 years
No, it won't mean a thing
In a 100 years
In a 100 years
I've got a long way to walk, can't afford my next meal
In a 100 years
And it won't mean a thing
Sit at the pier, watch the sun go down
Another lost little boy in a big old town
In a 100 years
In a 100 years
But this colorful attraction got places to go
But no matter how hard I may try
I watch her walk away in haste
And it won't mean a thing
In a 100 years
Just keep on walking like I don't care
I want to laugh, I want to cry
No, it won't mean a thing
In a 100 years
No, it won't mean a thing
