Al Bowlly — Nicky the Greek Has Gone

At night a face keeps haunting me It lingers in my memory Tonight I seem to realize I miss the smiling dark brown eyes Nicky the Greek has gone Nicky the Greek has gone I miss his cry of "Peanuts, my lady. Peanuts I have for you" Standing against the wall Not more than five feet tall You'll find him there in all kinds of weather Smiling to one and all He was no Adonis, I declare A man you'd meet most anywhere Yet deep down in my heart I know He's back in the land where olives grow Somehow I want to cry I know the reason why Nicky the Greek has gone and I'm sorry We didn't say goodbyе Ya ssou, ya ssou Nikaiki Nicky, you mean the world to me Ya ssou, ya ssou Nikaiki Blеss you, wherever you may be [Singing in Greek, if anyone who speaks Greek could fill this in that'd be great] Ya ssou, ya ssou Nikaiki Nicky, you mean the world to me Ya ssou, ya ssou Nikaiki Bless you, wherever you may be
