The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
The prostitute is pretty, the clients say she's clean They use her and they pay her, the usual routine But when her work is over, then comes her turn to shop She finds the one she dreams of, down at the local hop Her man is a musician, he'll be a star one day Embracing his accordion, he plays the world away He makes music for her but her feet never stir With her back to the dancefloor, she lingers There is nothing she sees but his hands on the keys Such forceful and sensitive fingers They are under her skin, going out, going in She's a bud which is waiting to flower And she's bursting to sing, it's a physical thing She is in the accordion's power The prostitute is waiting, the prostitute is true Her lover is a soldier, and when the war is through They'll buy a little café in some romantic town The diners will respect them, she'll wear a satin gown The man will be the patron, and every night she'll say "Pick up that old accordion, and play the night away" Now she feels music rise, in a series of sighs Welling up from the depths of her being And the clients who call, they mean nothing at all For it's only her lover she sees He is under her skin, going out, going in She's a bud which waiting to flower And she's bursting to sing, it's a physical thing She is in the accordion's power The prostitute is weeping, the clients must abide The other girls avoid her, too bad if she should die Her lover joined the army, the army marched away And now his body's lying where no musicians play She wanders 'round the city, she finds a café Where someone with a squeeze-box Will play the world away Now her head is full of sound And her heart is full of song And she closes her eyes And her feet start to move And it's under her skin, going out in She has to escape from the music And she's starting to hell, 'cause it's hurting like hell So she dances to stamp out the music And she's starting to hell, 'cause it's hurting like hell So she dances to stamp out the music Stop! Stop! Stop the damn music!
