Who started the rumor
That I have a crush on Süheyla?
I dare you to tell who saw me
Kissing Eleni
On the Winding Steps in broad daylight?
Do they say I grabbed Melahat and took her to Alemdar,
Is that what they're saying?
Well, I'll explain that later, but
Whose bottom do they claim I pinched on the stretcar?
And what's the one about the Galata brothels,
That I get loaded, the liquor goes to my head
And I rush down there?
Come off it, man.
Never mind all that,
I know what I'm doing.
And what's that story about my getting Mualla into a rowboat
And making her sing 'Your grief is in my hearth
