Gypsy Rose and I Don't Give a Curse

Gypsy Rose and I Don't Give a Curse - Kingston Trio

Seven starving sailors sold

Their summer homes in Saginaw

To search for something better in Rangoon

(in Rangoon)

Down where Salty Sam from Turkistan

Had organized a marching band of Mau Maus

In the Crazy Horse Saloon

They harmonized together

Singing verses of the netherworld of darkness

In an unfamiliar tune

And before the night was over

They was a-floatin' down the river

With their belly buttons winkin' at the moon

Oh isn't it the same the whole world over

People seem to go from bad to worse

Whether you're a fighter or a lover

Gypsy Rose and I don't give a curse

Seven sorry sisters from the Sun Canal sorority

Went strolling on a summer afternoon

Down where little Ricky Vanderpool

Would work his way through Sunday school

Playing his electricfied kazoo

They'd hide their best to back it

Not intending to distract it

Singing seven kinds of sorry out of tune

And before the night was over

They was a-floatin' down the river

With their belly buttons winkin' at the moon

Oh isn't it the same the whole world over

People seem to go from bad to worse

Whether you're a fighter or a lover

Gypsy Rose and I don't give a curse

Gypsy Rose and I don't give a curse

Gypsy Rose and I don't give a curse
