Yours for a penny a sheet

I'm a word pecker out of the printers

Confessions and sins in the main

Then you'll find me in Madame Geneva's
那时你会发现我在日内瓦马旦岛里
Keepin the demons at bay

There's nothin like gin for drownin them in

But they'll always be back on a hangin day

They come rattlin over the cobbles
