New York Skiffle Songtext
von Half Man Half Biscuit

I′m a vendor of quack nostrums born in a Kansas shack
I came down to Greenwich Village with a tea chest on my back
I danced awhile for Andy and crashed his Cadillac
Now I'm just waiting for my van
Oh, does your
Heroin lose its glamour on the washboard overnight?
When your mother says don′t do it
Do you crank it up in spite?
Do you rob your brother's giro?
Do you talk a load of shite?
Does your heroin lose its glamour
On the washboard overnight?
I drank too much black coffee
Read too much Bilbo Rose
I've been a he, I′ve been a she
A maybe and who knows
I′ve had the C.B.G.B.'s
I′ve dirtied way upstate
So don't you rock me Daddy-o Oh, does your
Heroin lose its glamour on the washboard overnight?
When your mother says don′t do it
Do you crank it up in spite?
Do you rob your brother's giro?
Do you talk a load of shite?
Does your heroin lose its glamour
On the washboard overnight?
Does your heroin lose its glamour
On the washboard overnight?
When your mother says don′t do it
Do you crank it up in spite?
Do you rob your brother's giro?
Do you talk a load of shite?
Does your heroin lose its glamour?
Does your heroin lose its glamour?
Does your heroin lose its glamour
On the washboard overnight?
