Souvenirs - The Tiger Lillies

He’s been around the world and much of it was queer

He got a nasty little rash from a brothel in Tangiers

A knife it missed his artery in a harem in Algiers

And from a whore in Rotterdam he got Gonorrhoea

Now he works the fairground, looks back on his career

And anyone who’s interested he shows his souvenirs

He lost a finger and an arm to a grenadier

He lost an eye in Africa to a bushman’s spear

He’s been in wicked storms on all the seven seas

He’s had scurvy and the plague and tropical disease

Now he works the fairground, looks back on his career

And anyone who’s interested he shows his souvenirs
