Lyrics:
I'm back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
We'
re all hunting
honey with
money to burn
Just a short
time to show you the tricks that we've learned
If the boys all behave themselves here
Well, there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh, the prices I charge here
will see you alright
So, she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no
name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the
name of the game
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the
name of the game, oh
Forget us we'll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love's just a job and nothing is said
So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no
name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the
name of the game
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the
name of the game.
