Paroles de The Straight-Razor Cabaret

In a café on the Champs-Élysées, I saw a girl the other day.

I was beguiled 'til I saw her smile.

It was a gash across her face.
Not long ago, she found that she was alone, so she wandered into a vaudeville show.

She should've known it'd be bad.

She saw the name that it had - The Straight-Razor Cabaret.

The first act was a stripper and the host looked like Jack the Ripper.

But the audience was dreary, so he slashed them smiles from ear to ear.



He used a straight razor 'cause he's a face raper, and there's nothing he hates more than a stick in the mud.

If he tells a joke, you better laugh 'til you choke at The Straight-Razor Cabaret!



When I went down to Camden Town, I saw a man reading the Bible.
He should've known he'd be maimed when he discovered the name - The Straight-Razor Cabaret.

While a strumpet stroked a donkey, the host juggled five dead monkeys.

But the audience was snobs, so he took a knife right to their gobs.



He used a straight razor 'cause he's a face raper, and there's nothing he hates more than a stick in the mud.

If he does a trick, you'd better laugh until you're sick at The Straight-Razor Cabaret!



They call him Straight-Razor 'cause he's a face raper.

And there's nothing he hates more than a stick in the mud.

If he pulls a gaffe, you'd better bloody up and laugh.

At The Straight-Razor Cabaret!

At The Straight-Razor Cabaret!

At The Straight-Razor Cabar...

Everybody!

At The Straight-Razor Cabaret!
