Lucifer (NL) - Scarlet Lady lyrics

Last night, about 11 o'clock Mayor Davis walked into this room When he left I was fifty dollars richer Hit a bottle of French perfume Lots of ladies 'round here liked to see me in dare But they'll never see me there 'Cause there ain't no judge in the county Hasn't send him a velvet chair Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall Mirror on the ceiling, who's the fairest one of all Lyin' on my big bedspread I've learned my lesson well Scarlet lady never give away what you can sell I get them when they're just sixteen I get them when they're sixty-five They come in, feeling full of the devil And leave about half alive There's a new grand piano in the living room And closets full of fancy clothes You may not think it's much of a life But that's the one I chose Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall Mirror on the ceiling, who's the fairest one of all Lyin' on my big bedspread I've learned my lesson well Scarlet lady never give away what you can sell It's half past ten on the Saturday night Busy like the one before But all is half time for the governor When he comes through my backdoor So don't you worry 'bout the scarlet woman When you see her growin' old My diary is just a little black book I turn it into gold Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall Mirror on the ceiling, who's the fairest one of all Lyin' on my big bedspread I've learned my lesson well Scarlet lady never give away what you can sell Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall Mirror on the ceiling, who's the fairest one of all Lyin' on my big bedspread I've learned my lesson well Scarlet lady never give away what you can sell Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall Mirror on the ceiling, who's the fairest one of all Lyin' on my big bedspread I've learned my lesson well Scarlet lady never give away what you can sell
