1. Valentino's got a booky shop

Cmi Eb Gmi Gmi

and what he takes He gives for what he's got

And what he's got he says he has not

Cmi Eb GmiGmi

Stolen from anyone

Cmi Gmi

It's not that he don't tell the truth

Or even that he misspent his youth

Cmi Gmi

It's just that he holds the proof

But you feel there's something's wrong

R: Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi

2. Valentino's in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet

Against the odds he smokes another cigarette

Says that it helps him to forget

That he's a nervous wreck

It's not that he misses much

Or even that he's lost his lucky touch

It's just that he gambles so much

And you know that it's wrong

R: Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi

Waiting just to catch your eye

Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi

Try to say I told you I told you

R: Waiting for an alibi

Waiting just to get you

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi

To say I told you

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi

Oh mamamama..
