| I am a waitress in a temple of swing
|
| Working every night until the morning begins
|
| I see the people come, I see the people go
|
| And most of all I see the whiskey flow
|
| Yes, in the nineteen-twenties the times are hard enough now
|
| My friend Josy disappeared, she was a dancer here
|
| My boss is a bandit, I know where he gets his money from: illegal alcohol,
|
| even prostitution
|
| My boyfriend Jonathan, he is a loyal man, truly wants to marry me as soon as he
|
| can
|
| He says whenever he will find steady employment, he wants to get me out of this
|
| environment
|
| Where is Josy? |
| Where has she disappeared?
|
| Where is Josy? |
| This is a mystery!
|
| The night of nights has finally arrived
|
| My freedom shall no longer be deprived
|
| But just when Janathan tried to walk off with me
|
| My boss got a hold of us, and caught us suddenly
|
| Where is Josy?
|
| Where is Josy? |
| This is a mystery!
|
| A ghost took a bullet for me and so she saved my life
|
| But how can this be possible that I see Josy’s eyes?
|
| Yes, in the nineteen-twenties the times are hard enough now
|
| Who will survive until the end? |
| The dead girls my friend! |
