[00:02.93]Title: Amsterdam
[00:03.33]by桃花郎
[00:04.75]In the port of Amsterdam
[00:06.06]There's a sailor who sings
[00:11.99]Of the dream that he brings
[00:15.08]From the wide open sea
[00:19.42]In the port of Amsterdam
[00:22.82]There's a sailor who sleeps
[00:27.40]While the river bank weeps
[00:29.96]To the old willow tree
[00:33.48]In the port of Amsterdam
[00:36.72]There's a sailor who dies
[00:43.89]Full of beer, full of cries
[00:47.95]In a drunken town fight
[00:51.88]In the port of Amsterdam
[00:53.12]There's a sailor who's born
[00:55.94]On a hot muggy morn
[00:58.93]By the dawn's early light
[01:08.69]In the port of Amsterdam
[01:11.91]Where the sailors all meet
[01:13.70]There's a sailor who eats
[01:15.93]Only fish heads and tails
[01:18.91]And he'll show you his teeth
[01:21.68]That have rotten too soon
[01:24.31]That can haul up the sails
[01:26.84]That can swallow the moon
[01:29.02]And he yells to the cook
[01:32.64]With his arms open wide
[01:34.26]"Hey, bring me more fish
[01:36.36]Throw it down by my side"
[01:40.16]And he wants so to belch
[01:42.75]But he's too full to try
[01:45.77]So he stands up and laughs
[01:47.32]And he zip up his fly
[01:49.29]In the port of Amsterdam
[01:51.74]You can see sailors dance
[01:55.10]Paunches bursting their pants
[01:57.59]Grinding women to porch
[02:00.50]They've forgotten the tune
[02:03.13]That their whiskey voice
[02:04.09]croaked
[02:05.64]Splitting the night
[02:07.10]With the roar of their jokes
[02:09.63]And they turn and they dance
[02:12.25]And they laugh and they lust
[02:14.85]Till the rancid sound
[02:17.39]of the accordion bursts
[02:20.14]And then out of the night
[02:22.62]With their pride in their pants
[02:25.47]And the sluts that they tow
[02:27.86]Underneath the street lamps
[02:30.23]In the port of Amsterdam
[02:32.99]There's a sailor who drinks
[02:35.08]And he drinks and he drinks
[02:36.79]And he drinks once again
[02:40.78]He'll drink to the health
[02:43.61]Of the whores of Amsterdam
[02:46.59]Who've given their bodies
[02:48.31]To a thousand other men
[02:50.32]Yeah, they've bargained their virtue
[02:53.33]Their goodness all gone
[02:55.86]For a few dirty coins
[02:58.57]Well he just can't go on
[03:02.91]Throws his nose to the sky
[03:06.10]And he aims it up above
[03:08.64]And he pisses like I cry
[03:11.33]On the unfaithful love
[03:13.15]In the port of Amsterdam
[03:14.99]In the port of Amsterdam
