I' m back on dry land once again
Oppor tunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
We're all hunti ng honey with money t o burn
Just a short time to show yo u the tricks that we've learn ed
If the boys all behave themselves here
Well there' s pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alri ght
So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her a nd many stil l do
There's a place in the world for a woman lik e you
Oh sweet painted lady
Seems it's always bee n the same
Getting paid fo r being laid
Guess that's the name o f the game
Oh sweet painted lady
Seems it's always bee n the same
Getting paid fo r being laid
Guess that's the name o f the game
Oh !
Forget us we'll h ave gone very soon
Just f orget we ever slept in your rooms
And we'll leave the smell of t he sea in your b eds
Where love's just a job and nothing is said
So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her a nd many stil l do
There's a place in the world for a woman lik e you
(Répéter)
