when the banner flies

when the banner flies
high upon the battlements
where do you stand?
(if you stand at all)
and where
do you
 put
 your hand?
I will not tell
cross my fingers
cross my heart
BLACK CATS
cross my path
more often than I care to describe
& luck don't mean a thing to me
if my eyes ain't open wide
so open wide
& say ah - ah -ah
and sing fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa sad song

& when the banter's drawing flies
high upon the battlements
how do you stand it?
(if you stand at all)
and where
 did you
put
your hand?
I cannot tell
cross my heart
cross my fingers
TWO BLACK CATS
cross my path
more frequently than I can describe
and love don't mean a thing
if your eyes ain't open wide
so open wide
and say ah -
