His ships, they're all on fire

The moneylender's lovely little daughter
AAsus4
Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire
C#m F#m(iv)
She spies him through the glasses
C#mDAAsus4
From the pawnshops of her wicked father

She hails him with a microphone
C#mDAAsus4
That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her

Of his famous cigarillo
