Paroles de Souvenirs

He's been around the world and much of it was queer He got a nasty little rash from a brothel in Tangiers A knife it missed his artery in a harem in Algiers And from a whore in Rotterdam he got Gonorrhoea Now he works the fairground, looks back on his career And anyone who's interested he shows his souvenirs He lost a finger and an arm to a grenadier He lost an eye in Africa to a bushman's spear He's been in wicked storms on all the seven seas He's had scurvy and the plague and tropical disease Now he works the fairground, looks back on his career And anyone who's interested he shows his souvenirs
