You gentlemen can watch I'm scrubbin' the floor And I'm scrubbin' the floor while gawking And maybe you tipped me and it made you feel swell In a ratty in this ratty-old hotel
But you'll know to who you're talkin' You never to who you're talkin'
Suddenly, one night, there's a in the night And you yelled, "What the hell that have been?" And you see me kinda grinnin' I'm scrubbin' And you say, "What's she got to grin?"
And the ship, a Freighter With a on its masthead will be comin' in
you gentlemen can say, "Hey girl, finish the floors Get upstairs, make the beds, your keep here You me your tips and look out at the ships
But I'm your heads While I up the beds 'Cuz there's nobody gonna here Tonight, none of you sleep here
Then, that night, a bang in the night And you yelled, "Who's that up a row?" And ya see me kinda starin' out the And you say, "What's she got to at now?"
And the ship, the Freighter Turns around in the guns from the bow
Then you can wipe off the laugh from your face Every building in is a flat one Your stinking place will be down to the ground Only this hotel standin' up safe and sound
And you ask, "Why did spare that one?" And you ask, "Why did spare that one?"
All the night through, the noise and to-do You wonder, who's the lives up there? you see me steppin' out in the mornin' Lookin' nice with a in my hair
And the ship, the Freighter Runs the up its masthead And a rings the air
By the dock Is a' swarmin' men Comin' off of that ghostly
And they're in the shadows no one can see And they're chainin' up And them to me
me "Kill now or later?" me "Kill now, or later?"
Noon by the And so on the dock You can the foghorn miles away
In that quiet of say, "Right now Then they'll up the bodies And I'll say, "That'll ya"
And the The Freighter out to sea And on it is me
