Lyrics: [Verse 1] I wanna live with a cinnamon girl I could be happy the rest of my life With a cinnamon girl [Verse 2] A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight My cinnamon girl [Verse 3] Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow The drummer relaxes and waits between shows For his cinnamon girl [Verse 2] A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight My cinnamon girl [Bridge] Pa, send me money now I'm gonna make it somehow I need another chance You see, your baby loves to dance Yeah, yeah, yeah Woo
