Nina Simone - Pirate Jeny слова песни
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 hotelBut 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?"Askin` ME!"Kill them now, or later?"Noon by the clockand so still by the dockYou can hear a foghorn miles awayAnd in that quiet of deathI`ll say, "Right now.Right now!"Then they`ll pile up the bodiesAnd I`ll say,"That`ll learn ya!"And the shipThe Black Freighterdisappears out to seaAndonitisme ------------------------------------------------------------------------
