(Pablo Records) Neath the stars, at bazaars Often I ve had to caress men Five or ten dollars, then I d collect from all those yesmen Don t be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chessmen Darling, can t you see Twas for charity Though those lips have made slips, it was never really serious Who d have thought, I d be brought to a state that s so delirious I could cry salty tears Where have I been Where ve I been all these years A Listen you, tell me do How long has this How long has this been goin on
