Lyrics of

Your gold teeth

	
Got a feeling I've been here before
Watch you as you cross the killing floor
You know you'll have to pay it all
You'll pay today or pay tomorrow

You fasten up your beaded gown
Then you try to tie me down
Do you work it out one by one 
Or play the combination
Do you throw out your gold teeth
Do you see how they roll

I have seen your iron and your brass
Can't you see it hide behind the glass
Your fortune is your roving eye your mouth and legs 
Your gift for the run around
Torture is the main attraction 
I don't need that kind of action
You don't have to dance for me 
I've seen you dance before
Do you throw out your gold teeth
Do you see how they roll

Chorus
Tobacco they grow in Peking
In the year of the locust you'll see a sad thing
Even Cathy Berberian knows
There's one roulade she can't sing
Dumb luck my friend won't suck me in this time

Got a feeling I've been here before
Won't you let me help you find the door
All you gotta do is use your silver shoes
Your gift for the runaround
Use your knack darlin'
Take one step back darlin'
There ain't nothin' in Chicago
For a monkey woman to do, uh-huh
Do you throw out your gold teeth
Do you see how they roll

Chorus
