New York Skiffle by Half Man Half Biscuit
New York Skiffle lyrics
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 a while for Andy and crashed his Cadillac
And now I�m just waiting for my ban
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�ve drank too much black coffee
Read too much Bill Burroughs
I�ve been a he, I�ve been a she
A �maybe� and �who knows�
I�ve had the CBGBs
I�ve journeyed way upstate
So don�t you rock me, Daddio
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?
