Souvenirs

He's been around the world
and much of it was queer
He got a nasty little rash
from a brothel in Tangiers.
A knife it missed his artery
in a harem in Algiers
And from a whore in Rotterdam
he got Gonorrhoea.
Now he works the fairground,
looks back on his career
And anyone who's interested
he shows his souvenirs,
souvenirs, souvenirs, souvenirs.
He lost a finger and an arm
to a grenadier
He lost an eye in Africa
to a bushman's spear.
He's been in wicked storms
on all the seven seas
He's had scurvy and the plague
and tropical disease.
Now he works the fairground,
looks back on his career
And anyone who's interested
he shows his souvenirs.
