The Boys In The Back Room

The Boys In The Back Room - Marlena 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
