You gentlemen can gawk while I'm scrubbing the floors And I'm scrubbing the floors while you're gawking And maybe once you tipped me and it made you feel swell In this ratty waterfront in this ratty hotel But you never know to whom you're talking You never guess to whom you're talking Suddenly one night there's a scream in the night And a yell: What the hell is that din And you see me kind of grinning while I'm scrubbing And you'll say: What's she got to grin?
