Nina Simone = Pirate Jenny (Live At Carnegie Hall, New York, 1964) Kurt weill - Bertold Brecht

You people can watch while I'm scrubbing these floors

And I'm scrubbin' the floors while you're gawking

Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell

In this crummy southern town

In this crummy old hotel

 

But you'll never guess to who you're talkin'

No, you couldn't ever guess to who you're talkin'

 

Then one night there's a scream in the night

And you'll wonder: Who could that have been?

And you see me kinda grinnin' while I'm scrubbin'

And you say: What's she got to grin?

 

I'll tell you

There's a ship

The black freighter

With a skull on its masthead

Will be coming in
