Gypsy Rose And I Don`t Give A Curse Lyrics

Kris Kristofferson



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.



Chorus:

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.



(Chorus, twice)
