Violin Time The Tiger Lillies

Violin time at the port side
And the whores say pretty words
To an old man who is dying
And his cries they do disturb
Violin time for the soldier
He curses as you squeal
And he kills you for a reason
Patriotic imbecile
Violin time, violin time, violin time, violin
Violin time for the mother
And the child she has lost
Violin time, violin time
As they nail her to the cross
Violin time, violin time, violin time, violin
Violin time, violin time, violin, violin
Violin time for the desperado
Who is crying into his cup
Violin time, violin time
As they come to lock him up
Violin time, violin time, violin time, violin
Violin time, violin time, violin, violin
