Pirate Jenny - Watchmen[00:00:00]

You people can watch while[00:00:04]

I'm scrubbing these floors[00:00:05]

And I'm scrubbin the floors[00:00:07]

While you're gawking[00:00:09]

Maybe once ya tip me and[00:00:11]

It makes ya feel swell[00:00:13]

In this crummy southern town[00:00:14]

In this crummy old hotel[00:00:16]

But you'll never guess to who you're talking[00:00:18]

No you couldn't ever guess to who your talking[00:00:22]

Then one night theres a scream in the night[00:00:31]

And you'll wonder who could that have been[00:00:35]

And you see me kinda grinning while I'm scrubbing[00:00:40]

And you say whats she got to grin[00:00:45]

I'll tell you [00:00:49]

Theres a ship[00:00:53]

The black freighter[00:00:59]

With a skull on its masthead[00:01:02]

Will be coming in[00:01:07]

You gentlemen can say hey gal [00:01:15]

Finish them floors[00:01:18]

Get upstairs whats wrong with you[00:01:19]

Earn your keep here[00:01:21]

You toss me your tips[00:01:22]

And look out to the ships[00:01:24]

But I'm counting your heads[00:01:25]

As I'm making the beds[00:01:28]

Cuz theres nobody gonna sleep here[00:01:29]

Tonight Nobody gonna sleep here honey[00:01:32]

Nobody[00:01:38]

Nobody[00:01:42]

Then one night theres a scream in the night[00:01:48]

And you say who's that kicking up a row[00:01:52]

And ya see me kinda starin out the winda[00:01:57]

And you say whats she got to stare at now[00:02:03]

I'll tell ya[00:02:08]

Theres a ship[00:02:11]

The black freighter[00:02:17]

Turns around in the harbor[00:02:22]

Shootin guns from her bow[00:02:28]

Now[00:02:36]

You gentlemen can wipe off[00:02:37]

That smile off your face[00:02:39]

Cause every building in town is a flat one[00:02:40]

This whole frickin place will be[00:02:43]

Down to the ground[00:02:46]

Only this cheap hotel standing up[00:02:47]

Safe and sound[00:02:50]

And you yell why do they spare that one[00:02:51]

Yes[00:02:55]

That's what you say[00:02:56]

Why do they spare that one[00:02:58]

All the night through through[00:03:05]

The noise and to do[00:03:08]

You wonder who is that person[00:03:10]

That lives up there[00:03:12]

And you see me stepping out[00:03:15]

In the morning[00:03:18]

Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair[00:03:21]

And the ship[00:03:32]

The black freighter[00:03:37]

Runs a flag up its masthead[00:03:42]

And a cheer rings the air[00:03:45]

By noontime the dock[00:03:54]

Is a swarmin with men[00:03:57]

Coming out from the ghostly freighter[00:03:59]

They move in the shadows[00:04:03]

Where no one can see[00:04:06]

And they're chaining up people[00:04:08]

And they're bringing em to me[00:04:10]

Askin me [00:04:13]

Kill them now or later[00:04:14]

Asking me[00:04:18]

Kill them now or later[00:04:21]

Noon by the clock[00:04:28]

And so still by the dock[00:04:34]

You can hear a foghorn miles away[00:04:39]

And in that quiet of death[00:04:51]

I'll say right now[00:04:57]

Right now[00:05:04]

Then they'll pile up the bodies[00:05:13]

And I'll say [00:05:19]

That'll learn ya[00:05:20]

And the ship[00:05:24]

The black freighter[00:05:39]

Disappears out to sea[00:05:49]

And[00:06:02]

On[00:06:05]

It[00:06:07]

Is[00:06:11]

Me[00:06:12]
