The Mandalay Song

 

Mother’s goddamn dive in Mandalay

Seven rotten boards out in the bay

Goddamn put on that girl to get her ass in gear

There’s fifteen guys already lined up along the pier

Watches in their hands and shouting hey

Is there just one girl in Mandalay?

All the girls are cute as they can be

Even if they won’t put out for free

Life would be so simple, everything in order

If the guy who’s in there wasn’t so damn slow

Take your 45’ and shoot the door down

Tell that guy in there he’s holding up the show

Faster Johnny hey! Faster Johnny hey!

Sing the man the song of Mandalay

 

Love doesn’t have days and weeks to be reckoned

Johnny come on don’t you dare waste a second

Will the moon shine every night over you Mandalay?

Will the moon shine every night over you?

 

Mother’s goddamn dive in Mandalay

Now it’s rotting underneath the bay

Goddamn, that girl in there can rest her little rear

Not a single client out waiting on the pier

No more watchers with their shouts of hey, hey, hey, hey

Not a single soul in Mandalay

Once the girls were cute as they could be

Now there’s not a one that’s worth her fee

Life’s no longer simple, nothing is in order

There’s no place like Goddamn’s all of them are gone

No more 45’ to shoot the door down

Where there’s no one, let’s just take a walk

Faster Johnny hey! Faster Johnny hey!

Sing the man the song of Mandalay

 

Love doesn’t have days and weeks to be reckoned

Johnny come on don’t you dare waste a second

Will the moon shine every night over you Mandalay?

Will the moon shine every night over you?
