Straight Razor Cabaret
Voltaire
Em
(início)
Em In a cafe Am On the Champs-Élysées Em I saw a girl the other day Em I was beguiled Am 'till I saw her smile B7* B7* Em It was a gash across her face
Verse
Em Am Not long ago she found that she was alone Em So she wandered into a vaudeville show She should have known it'd be bad Am B7* B7* B7* Em She saw the name that it had: The Straight Razor Ca-ba-ret Em Am The first act was a stripper Em And the host looked like Jack the Ripper Am But the audience was dreary B7* B7* B7* B7* B7* And so he slashed them smiles from ear to ear
Chorus
Am He used a straight-razor Em Cause he's a face raper Am* Am Em And there's nothing he hates more than a stick in the mud Am If he tells a joke Em You better laugh until you choke Am B7 Em At the Straight Razor Cabaret
Verse 2
Em Am When I went down to Camden town Em I saw a man reading the Bible Am I won't in haste describe his face B7* B7* B7* Em For I might be sued for libel Em Am Not long ago he found that he was alone Em So he wandered into a vaudeville show He should have known he'd be maimed Am When he discovered the name: B7* B7* B7* Em The Straight Razor Ca-ba-ret Am While the strumpet stroked a donkey Em The host juggled five dead monkeys Am But the audience were snobs B7* B7* B7* B7* B7* So he took a knife right to their gobs
Chorus
Am He used a straight-razor Em Cause he's a face raper Am* Am Em And there's nothing he hates more than a stick in the mud Am If he does a trick Em You better laugh until you're sick Am B7 Em At the Straight Razor Cabaret
