You gentlemen
can watch
while I'm scrubbing the floors,

while you're gawking.
And maybe once you tip me
and it makes you feel swell,
D
Bm
on a ratty waterfront in a ratty
D
old hotel.
Em
And you never guess to who you're talking,
you never guess to who
you're talking.

Em
You toss me your tips

and look out at the shifts,

cause there's nobody
gonna sleep here.
Tonight, none of you will sleep here.
