Seeräuber Jenny by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht from The Threepenny Opera • performed at Columbia Club - Berlin, Germany on October 28, 2012 • video by Sarah Lasley @slazzle • TRANSLATION: • 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 it's masthead • Will be coming in • You gentlemen can say, Hey gal, finish them floors! • Get upstairs! What's wrong with you! Earn your keep here! • You toss me your tips • And look out to the ships • But I'm counting your heads • As I'm making the beds • Cuz there's nobody gonna sleep here, tonight • Nobody's gonna sleep here • Nobody! • Nobody! • Then one night there's a scream in the night • And you say, Who's that kicking up a row? • And ya see me kinda starin' out the winda • And you say, What's she got to stare at now? • I'll tell ya. • [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nina+sim... ] • There's a ship • The Black Freighter • Turns around in the harbor • Shootin' guns from her bow • Now • You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face • Cause every building in town is a flat one • This whole frickin' place will be down to the ground • Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound • And you yell, Why do they spare that one? • Yes. • That's what you say. • Why do they spare that one? • All the night through, through the noise and to-do • You wonder who is that person that lives up there? • And you see me stepping out in the morning • Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair • And the ship • The Black Freighter • Runs a flag up it's masthead • And a cheer rings the air • By noontime the dock • Is a-swarmin' with men • Comin' out from the ghostly freighter • They move in the shadows • Where no one can see • And they're chainin' up people • And they're bringin' em to me • Askin' me, • Kill them NOW, or LATER? • Askin' ME! • Kill them now, or later? • Noon by the clock • And so still at the dock • You can hear a foghorn miles away • And in that quiet of death • I'll say, Right now. • Right now! • Then they pile up the bodies • And I'll say, • That'll learn ya! • And the ship • The Black Freighter • Disappears out to sea • And • On • It • Is • Me
