Rene, the Dockers' Delight |
| There she is parading on the quayside |
| You can find her every night |
| Ah, waiting for a stevedore from Tyneside — |
| Why it’s Rene, the docker’s delight! |
| Well, if you just got off an oil tanker |
| And you’ve got the readies in the bin (Readies = cash and having them 'in the |
| bin' means having money) |
| Just make your way down to The Crown & Anchor |
| Ask for Rene (ohh, hello ducks!) and you’ll be well in |
| She’s Rene, the docker’s delight, and a ship’s in every night |
| Groping with a stoker from the coast of Kuala Lumpur |
| Love is like an 'ole in the wall |
| A line-up in the warehouse no trouble at all |
| If you can spare the money, you’ll have a ball — |
| She’ll have yours |
| Well, there’s a kid of every shape and colour |
| Safely hid in coal-shed double locked (this alludes to black kids by white |
| prostitutes, hidden away) |
| Well it’s been said that Rene is the mother |
| I wonder — well, there you go! |
| She’s Rene, the docker’s delight, and a ship’s in every night |
| Groping with a stoker from the coast of Kuala Lumpur |
