Watchmen movie - Pirate Jenny lyrics
rate me
You people can watch while Im scrubbing these floors<br>
And Im scrubbin the floors while youre gawking<br>
Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell<br>
In this crummy southern town<br>
In this crummy old hotel<br>
But youll never guess to who youre talkin.<br>
No. you couldnt ever guess to who youre talkin.<br>
<br>
Then one night theres a scream in the night<br>
And youll wonder who could that have been<br>
And you see me kinda grinnin while Im scrubbin<br>
And you say, whats she got to grin?<br>
Ill tell you.<br>
<br>
Theres a ship<br>
The black freighter<br>
With a skull on its masthead<br>
Will be coming in<br>
<br>
You gentlemen can say, hey gal, finish them floors!<br>
Get upstairs! whats wrong with you! earn your keep here!<br>
You toss me your tips<br>
And look out to the ships<br>
But Im counting your heads<br>
As Im making the beds<br>
Cuz theres nobody gonna sleep here, honey<br>
Nobody<br>
Nobody!<br>
<br>
Then one night theres a scream in the night<br>
And you say, whos that kicking up a row?<br>
And ya see me kinda starin out the winda<br>
And you say, whats she got to stare at now?<br>
Ill tell ya.<br>
<br>
Theres a ship<br>
The black freighter<br>
Turns around in the harbor<br>
Shootin guns from her bow<br>
<br>
Now<br>
You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face<br>
Cause every building in town is a flat one<br>
This whole frickin place will be down to the ground<br>
Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound<br>
And you yell, why do they spare that one?<br>
Yes.<br>
Thats what you say.<br>
Why do they spare that one?<br>
<br>
All the night through, through the noise and to-do<br>
You wonder who is that person that lives up there?<br>
And you see me stepping out in the morning<br>
Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair<br>
<br>
And the ship<br>
The black freighter<br>
Runs a flag up its masthead<br>
And a cheer rings the air<br>
<br>
By noontime the dock<br>
Is a-swarmin with men<br>
Comin out from the ghostly freighter<br>
They move in the shadows<br>
Where no one can see<br>
And theyre chainin up people<br>
And theyre bringin em to me<br>
Askin me,<br>
Kill them now, or later?<br>
Askin me!<br>
Kill them now, or later?<br>
<br>
Noon by the clock<br>
And so still by the dock<br>
You can hear a foghorn miles away<br>
And in that quiet of death<br>
Ill say, right now.<br>
Right now!<br>
<br>
Then theyll pile up the bodies<br>
And Ill say,<br>
Thatll learn ya!<br>
<br>
And the ship<br>
The black freighter<br>
Disappears out to sea<br>
And<br>
On<br>
It<br>
Is<br>
Me<br>
<br>
