lyrics

Ruby


Ruby’s lookin’ over the water
Paris end of Woolloomooloo
Eyein’ off the guns of a mother
USS Missouri to you
Her heart is like a geiger counter
Haulin’ on a Lucky Strike
Ruby’s gonna get her a sailor
And kiss him on the long goodnight

Haulin’ on a drop-dead number
Playin’ with a finger-nail file
Anything to build the hunger
Scrawlin’ on a drop-dead smile

She’s gonna take him back
Back up Macleay
Gonna take him back
Make him pay her
For the hotel room
Make him pay her
By a fly-blown electric light
Hangin’ off a tattooed shoulder
Lickin’ off the red red rum
There’s murder in the room
Murder in the room
Murder in the room
Murder in the room
Tonight

Now Ruby’s steppin’ out of the shower
Waxin’ to the Brisbane line
Smelling like a tropical flower
Walkin’ one leg at a time
Ruby’s got an ivory razor
Got herself a blade so bright
Ruby’s gonna get her a sailor
And kiss him on the long goodnight.
