An original lyric.

I did not know my Daddy
‘twas said he was some Rouge
Although I have a photo
I misplaced it long ago.
My Mother was the Tattooed-Lady
In the Carnival
We never had a proper home
No place to call our own.

My Best-Friend was a Dutchman,
A smuggler and a rake
We rode the county highways
Our pleasures there to take.
A thousand girls
And some boys too
Fell prey to our mad schemes
We smoked their hopes like Opium
And later pawned their dreams.

I joined the foreign Navy
And sailed the seven seas
And met with Pirate Annie
Down in the Blue Carribe…
We spawned a dozen children
Sold ‘em to Siam’s King
And with the money that we made
We bought our wedding rings.

I met with Dr. Munro
An Argonaut of Stars
Who built a glittering Rocket-ship
In which we traveled far.
On Venus we discovered a race of Amazons
Who took a liking to us
As Nymphs will take to Fawns.
And in that magic kingdom
We stayed for seven years,
‘Till we grew lonesome for the earth
And for our earthly dears.

Now I am an old man
One-Hundred-Twenty-five
A posh Townhouse in London
A white Rolls-Royce to drive.
And as I write my Memoirs
I cannot help but think
How charmed has been my lot in life
How sweet the wine I drink.
