The Boys in the Back Room Lyrics
The Boys in the Back Room - Marlene Dietrich
See what the boys
In the backroom will have
And tell them
I'm having the same
Go see what the boys
In the backroom will have
And give them
The poison they name
And when I die
Don't spend my money
On flowers and
My picture in a frame
Just see what the boys
In the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed
And tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same
And when I die
Don't buy a casket
Of silver with
The candles all aflame
Just see what the boys
In the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed
And tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same
And when I die
Don't pay the preacher
For speaking of
My glory and my fame
Just see what the boys
In the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed
And tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same
