Lyrics
Souvenirs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's been around the world and much of it was queer
He got a nasty little rash from a brothel in Tangiers
A knife it missed his artery in a harem in Algiers
And from a whore in Rotterdam he got Gonorrhoea
Now he works the fairground, looks back on his career
And anyone who's interested he shows his souvenirs
He lost a finger and an arm to a grenadier
He lost an eye in Africa to a bushman's spear
He's been in wicked storms on all the seven seas
He's had scurvy and the plague and tropical disease
Now he works the fairground, looks back on his career
And anyone who's interested he shows his souvenirs
