"The Bilbao Song" lyrics

The Bilbao Song

That old Bilbao moon
I won't forget it soon
That old Bilbao moon
Just like a big balloon
That old Bilbao moon
Would rise above the dune
While Tony's Beach Saloon
Rocked with an old-time tune

We'd sing a song
The whole night long
And I can still recall
Those were the greatest
Those were the greatest
Those were the greatest
Nights of them all

No paint was on the door
The grass grew through the floor
Of Tony's Two By Four
On the Bilbao shore
But there were friends galore
And there was beer to pour
And moonlight on the shore
That old Bilbao shore

We'd sing all night
With all our might
And I can still recall
Those were the greatest
Those were the greatest
Those were the greatest
Nights of them all

That old Bilbao moon
I won't forget it soon
That old Bilbao moon
Just like a big balloon
That old Bilbao moon
Would rise above the dune
While Tony's Beach Saloon
Rocked with an old-time tune

We'd sing all night
With all our might
And I can still recall
Those were the greatest
Those were the greatest
Those were the greatest
Nights of them all
