SMUGGLERS INN

Human Nature

1978

Music throbs
the crowd gyrates
fills the floor
dance and shout

Manager enters the club
looks about and smiles
good night tonight
lets have a drink

The curtain’s up
the stripper young and coy
no doubt a virgin
she’s so sweet

Innocent young girls
dressed in white
discard their gear
to disinterested stares

Yes Folks!
come to the Inn
there’s value for all
come on in

A fan wheels about
stuck to the roof
it cuts the smoke
and cuts again

Down at the Inn
on the other side of town
the patrons are visiting
from day to day

Dark black walls
dim red lights
reflect off the heavy air
that hangs about

An honest joint this is
value for all
plenty of chaste women
to take you home

The barman so honest
he never stole a dime
the waiter’s just the same
working all the time

A range of males observe
chuckle and drink
all out for a clean night
in a nice decent joint

Brass bar rails lie low
pushed to the floor
by a million nameless soles
on as many blameless nights

The beast at the door
a female she says
others are not so sure
takes the cash

Yes Folks!
come to the Inn
there’s value for all
come on in
