I wanna live
With a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
The rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
Chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Ten silver saxes,
A bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
And waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
Chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
