You gentlemen can watch I'm scrubbin' the floor And I'm scrubbin' the floor you're gawking And once you tipped me and it made you feel swell In a waterfront 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 scream in the And you yelled, "What the hell could that been?" And you see me kinda grinnin' I'm scrubbin' And you say, "What's she got to grin?"
And the ship, a Black With a skull on its will be comin' in
Then you gentlemen can say, "Hey girl, the floors Get upstairs, make the beds, earn your keep You toss me your tips and look out at the
But I'm your heads I make up the beds 'Cuz nobody gonna sleep here Tonight, none of you will sleep
Then, night, there's 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 around in the harbor Shootin' guns the bow
you gentlemen can wipe off the laugh from your face Every building in is a flat one Your whole stinking place will be to the ground Only this cheap hotel up safe and sound
And you ask, "Why did they that one?" And you ask, "Why did they spare one?"
All the through, with 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 flag up its And a rings the air
By noontime the Is a' swarmin' men off of that ghostly freighter
And they're movin' in the no one can see And they're up people And bringin' to me
me "Kill now or later?" me "Kill now, or later?"
by the clock And so on the dock You can hear the foghorn miles
In that of death say, "Right now Then pile up the bodies And I'll say, "That'll ya"
And the The Freighter out to sea And on it is me
