Madame Jeneva - Daisy Chapman[00:00:00]
Written by:Daisy Chapman[00:00:05]
In the late 1730s the decandent ladies[00:00:10]
Fled to the west leaving the rest[00:00:16]
In the flame scarred frown of East London town[00:00:20]
Where the hookers and bookers reside[00:00:26]
From the embers rose the rookeries[00:00:30]
Housing vice and debauchery[00:00:36]
And the name of this fever[00:00:41]
Was Madame Jeneva[00:00:46]
Oh drunk for a penny and dead drunk for two[00:00:51]
Clean straw for nothing come celebrate your suffering[00:00:57]
Madame Jeneva she will defeat ya[00:01:02]
Slappy Bonita she will decieve ya[00:01:07]
Her juniper berries set many a ladies'[00:01:21]
Hearts a flutter but their souls in the gutter[00:01:26]
Back streets of St Giles played host to the smiles[00:01:31]
Of the hags with their gin soaked rags[00:01:36]
Ms Eastwick and Miss Dafur[00:01:41]
Ransom offspring for liquor[00:01:46]
Escape the horrors of Gin Lane[00:01:52]
For the labrynth of Mother's Ruin[00:01:57]
Oh drunk for a penny and dead drunk for two[00:02:01]
Clean straw for nothing come celebrate your suffering[00:02:07]
Madame Jeneva she will deceive ya[00:02:12]
Slappy Bonita she will defeat ya[00:02:17]
William Hogarth sketched the aftermath[00:03:01]
Ink to paper some years later[00:03:05]
Marking the pity and stench of the city[00:03:10]
That the well to do left in their wake[00:03:15]
Oh drunk for a penny and dead drunk for two[00:03:19]
Clean straw for nothing come celebrate your suffering[00:03:25]
Madame Jeneva she will deceive ya[00:03:30]
Slappy Bonita she will defeat ya[00:03:35]
