Текст песни NINA SIMONE - Pirate Jenny




(1928) Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill You people can watch while I'm scrubbing these floorsAnd I'm scrubbin' the floors while you're gawkingMaybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swellIn this crummy Southern townIn this crummy old hotel( )But you'll never guess to who you're talkin'.No. You couldn't ever guess to who you're talkin'.Then one night there's a scream in the nightAnd you'll wonder who could that have beenAnd you see me kinda grinnin' while I'm scrubbin'And you say, ";What's she got to grin?";I'll tell you.There's a shipThe Black Freighterwith a skull on its mastheadwill be coming inYou gentlemen can say, ";Hey gal, finish them floors!Get upstairs! What's wrong with you! Earn your keep here!You toss me your tipsand look out to the shipsBut I'm counting your headsas I'm making the bedsCuz there's nobody gonna sleep here, honeyNobodyNobody!Then one night there's a scream in the nightAnd you say, ";Who's that kicking up a row?";And ya see me kinda starin' out the windaAnd you say, ";What's she got to stare at now?";I'll tell ya.There's a shipThe Black Freighterturns around in the harborshootin' guns from her bowNowYou gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your faceCause every building in town is a flat oneThis whole frickin' place will be down to the groundOnly this cheap hotel standing up safe and soundAnd you yell, ";Why do they spare that one?";Yes.That's what you say.";Why do they spare that one?";All the night through, through the noise and to-doYou wonder who is that person that lives up there?And you see me stepping out in the morningLooking nice with a ribbon in my hairAnd the shipThe Black Freighterruns a flag up its mastheadand a cheer rings the airBy noontime the dockis a-swarmin' with mencomin' out from the ghostly freighterThey move in the shadowswhere no one can seeAnd they're chainin' up peopleand they're bringin' em to measkin' me,";Kill them NOW, or LATER?";
