emperor norton - sunday comes afterwards lyrics

Loading...

[refrain]
long may he reign in san francisco!
long may he reign in san francisco!

[verse 1]
joshua norton spends his whole fortune
to corner the market on rice
not very nice
peruvian traders come with more grain
and it’s plain that his plan’s up in smoke
norton goes broke

[chorus]
all the reckless dreamers
where do they all come from?
all the reckless dreamers
where do they all belong?

[verse 2]
emperor norton writes proclamations
takes over thе nation, you know
protects mexico
surveys his city; don’t call it frisco
his scrip pays for mеals by the sea
the cops let him be
[chorus]
all the reckless dreamers
where do they all come from?
all the reckless dreamers
where do they all belong?

[refrain]
long may he reign in san francisco!
long may he reign in san francisco!

[verse 3]
joshua norton died on the corner
a pauper, no funds for a grave
the end of an age
local supporters paid for the casket
the masses turned out, such acclaim
everyone came

[outro]
all the reckless dreamers
where do they all come from?
some go to california
and find that they belong…
