The Tattooed Lady
Composer(s): Dave Guard - Nick Reynolds - Bob Shane
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; Jethro Burns



We came to town to see 
That old tattooed lady
She was a sight to see
Tattooed from head to knee

My uncle Ned was there
He came to gape and stare
"I've never!" he declared
"Seen such a freak so fair"

And on her jaw 
Was the Royal Flying Corp 
And on her back was the Union Jack
Now could you ask for more?

All up and down her spine 
Marched the Queen's own guards in line 
And all around her hips 
Sailed a fleet of battleships

And over her left kidney 
Was a bird's eye view of Sidney 
But what we liked best was upon her chest
My little home in Waikiki! (What did you say?)
