Rings

I?ve many rings, so many rings
I?ve got four, I think, that came from kings
I?ve many rings, so many rings
Now which one?s from this guy I?m with?
Oh--the ruby, I suppose

This ring is green, it seems this stone
is rare as pairs of unicorns
This ring is red, it?s said this stone
was stolen from the Devil?s throne

I?ve many rings, so many rings
I?ve got a five-moon jewel and a voodoo rune
I?ve many rings, so many rings
This chip the tip of an old harpoon
from some gray sailor, the story goes

This ring is green, it seems this stone
is rare as pairs of unicorns
This ring is red, it?s said this stone
was stolen from the Devil?s throne

Now young King Tut is tucked away in gold
his tomb does well his secret hold
But if he?d ever heard this siren sing
his fortune would be one less ring

I?ve many rings, so many rings
this pearl I plan to hawk in SoHo
I?ve many rings, so many rings
uptown boys don?t downtown go
How lonely broken pawn shop brokers grow
How lonely they grow
How lonely we grow
