Al Duvall - Flophouse Polka Lyrics

The devil rides a tandem bike
You can join him if you like
Across the tracks and past the dump
Just beyond the tallow pump
Window gates around the whores
They pawn their clothes in liquor stores
Hide your teeth and shade your eyes
It's the shiny things they prize
Down where the low-down folk do the flophouse polka

Everyone is on the verge
Hold your breath when they emerge
Short-eyes with thе county dentures
Bragging of illicit venturеs
Little Mort and uncle Vlad
Decked out in their Sunday plaid
Making eyes at Madame Bowery
Then they roll her for the dowry
Down where the low-down folk do the flophouse polka

A taxi full of schadenfreuders
Count the harelips and the goiters
Lusty tramps and crippled bouncers
Clutch 120-ouncers
In the kitchen, Moe the Rat
Bakes the lice out of his hat
Look, the watchman's waking up
Brain him with your pencil cup
Down where the low-down folk do the flophouse polka
Down where the low-down folk do the flophouse polka
