Hookers in Atlanta Songtext
von AlicebanD

With a heavy heart and tiny feet
He stumbled through the moonlit street
Until he reached the open door
Of drunken men and open whores

Until I see the roaming hoard
I′ll hide myself and view the world
With such contempt the green surrounds
And goes behind your dressing gown
Until I see that open door
I remind myself just to be sure
That no-one else can hear a thing
Not even dogs' ears to the floor, da-da-dum

I don′t think he likes it
When the joke
Is on you
And I don't think he takes too well
To the jokers playing the fool


So he stumbles on towards a girl
Who smells as if she seen the world
Until he finds to his surprise
That she's a he; the girls are guys
Until I see the tide is right
I′ll sit alone on through the night
And think about the many things
I′d do if it were not for him, and

I don't think he likes it
When the joke
Is on you
And I don′t think he takes too well
To the jokers playing the fool

Until that night he'd never known
That men in drag wear sweet cologne
And dressing in your mother′s clothes
It's kindest if she never knows
Until I see the world is calm
I′ll stick around, eh what's the harm
A treasure that I'd kill to find
Is waiting on the other side, da-da dum

I don′t think he likes it
When the joke
Is on you
And I don′t think he takes too well
To the jokers playing the fool
Ba-dum
