My cinnamon girl
My cinnamon girl
I wanna to live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together chase the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
Dreamer was right
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chase the moonlight
Alright
My cinnamon girl
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
Yeah...yeah...yeah
Dreamer is right
Alright
Yes!
My cinnamon girl
My cinnamon girl
