You people can watch while I`m scrubbing these floors<br>And I`m scrubbin` the floors while you`re gawking<br>Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell<br>In this crummy Southern town<br>In this crummy old hotel<br>But you`ll never guess to who you`re talkin`.<br>No. You couldn`t ever guess to who you`re talkin`.<br><br>Then one night there`s a scream in the night<br>And you`ll wonder who could that have been<br>And you see me kinda grinnin` while I`m scrubbin`<br>And you say, "What`s she got to grin?"<br>I`ll tell you.<br><br>There`s a ship<br>The Black Freighter<br>with a skull on its masthead<br>will be coming in<br><br>You gentlemen can say, "Hey gal, finish them floors!<br>Get upstairs! What`s wrong with you! Earn your keep here!<br>You toss me your tips<br>and look out to the ships<br>But I`m counting your heads<br>as I`m making the beds<br>Cuz there`s nobody gonna sleep here, honey<br>Nobody<br>Nobody!<br><br>Then one night there`s a scream in the night<br>And you say, "Who`s that kicking up a row?"<br>And ya see me kinda starin` out the winda<br>And you say, "What`s she got to stare at now?"<br>I`ll tell ya.<br><br>There`s a ship<br>The Black Freighter<br>turns around in the harbor<br>shootin` guns from her bow<br><br>Now<br>You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face<br>Cause every building in town is a flat one<br>This whole frickin` place will be down to the ground<br>Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound<br>And you yell, "Why do they spare that one?"<br>Yes.<br>That`s what you say.<br>"Why do they spare that one?"<br><br>All the night through, through the noise and to-do<br>You wonder who is that person that lives up there?<br>And you see me stepping out in the morning<br>Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair<br><br>And the ship<br>The Black Freighter<br>runs a flag up its masthead<br>and a cheer rings the air<br><br>By noontime the dock<br>is a-swarmin` with men<br>comin` out from the ghostly freighter<br>They move in the shadows<br>where no one can see<br>And they`re chainin` up people<br>and they`re bringin` em to me<br>askin` me,<br>"Kill them NOW, or LATER?"<br>Askin` ME!<br>"Kill them now, or later?"<br><br>Noon by the clock<br>and so still by the dock<br>You can hear a foghorn miles away<br>And in that quiet of death<br>I`ll say, "Right now.<br>Right now!"<br><br>Then they`ll pile up the bodies<br>And I`ll say,<br>"That`ll learn ya!"<br><br>And the ship<br>The Black Freighter<br>disappears out to sea<br>And<br>on<br>it<br>is<br>me <br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------
