Barrack-Room Scandal

歌詞

Two women living next to me All time quarreling, they can't agree Two young ladies living next to me All time quarreling, they can't agree The one name Olga, she can curse, for so She is the biggest curse-bird I ever know When she started her filthy expression Jeannie started out singing this song I went in the market, uh huh And I buy a basket, uh huh And I buy a three cent lime, uh huh And I buy a three cent disinfectant To do what I won't tell you Olga, wash the dress mama gave you, what! To do what I won't tell you Olga, wash the dress mama gave you When Jeannie heard Olga lavway Then she started to curse and breakaway Filthy expression, for so I sorry I can't explain you in Calypso She said: "Why you don't haul, you're Nelson Street You son of a George and Charlotte Street I feel to kick you inside your Port of Spain" Jeannie came back singing the same song again I went in the market, uh huh And I buy a basket, uh huh And I buy a three cent lime, uh huh And I buy a three cent disinfectant To do what I won't tell you Olga, wash the dress mama gave you, what! To do what I won't tell you Olga, wash the dress mama gave you And as a Bacchanal Calypsonian I wanted to get the right interpretation So I turn and ask Olga But she start to sing louder and louder She said: "Do you think you can curse with me? Somebody say they see you at 116th street and Lenox avenue at night Don't you curse me, you know I am a decent woman I hear they see you at 125th street and 8th avenue I'm going to put you in court" To do what I won't tell you Olga, wash the dress mama gave you, what! To do what I won't tell you Olga, wash the dress mama gave you To do what I won't tell you Olga, wash the dress mama gave you
