Got a feeling I've been here before

Watching as you cross the killing floor

You know you'll have to pay it all

You'll pay today or pay tomorrow

You fasten up your beaded gown

Then you try to tie me down

Do you work it one by one

Or played in combination



You throw out your gold teeth

Do you see how they roll?



I have seen your iron and your brass

Can't you see it shine behind the glass?

Your fortune is your roving eye

Your mouth and legs your gift for the runaround

Torture is the main attraction

I don't need that kind of action

You don't have to dance for me

I've seen your dance before



Do you throw out your gold teeth?

Do you see how they roll?



Tobacco they grow in Peking

In the Year of the Locust you'll see a sad thing

Even Cathy Berberian knows there's on roulade she can't sing

Dumb luck my friend, won't suck me in this time



Got a feeling I've been here before

Won't you let me help you find the door

All you got to do is use your silver shoes

A gift for the runaround

Use your knack darling

Take one step back darling

There aint nothing in Chicago

For a monkey woman to do



Do throw out your gold teeth?

Do you see how they roll
