Robert W Service - Lip-Stick Liz
Work rating: Low

Oh Lip-Stick Liz was in the biz, That`s the oldest known in history;
She had a lot of fancy rags, Of her form she made no myst`ry.
She had a man, a fancy man, His name was Alexander,
And he used to beat her up because he couldn`t understand her. 

Now Lip-Stick Liz she loved her man And she couldn`t love no other
So when she saw him with a Broadway Blonde, Her rage she could not smother.
She saw him once and she saw him twice But the third time nearly crazed her,
So she walked bang into a hardware store, And she bought a brand new razor. 

Now Lip-Stick Liz she trailed them two For she was tired of weeping;
She trailed them two, in a flash hotel And there she found them sleeping;
So she gashed them once and she gashed them twice Their ju`lar veins to sever,
And the bright blood flowed like a brook between. And their lives were gone forever. 

Now Lip-Stick Liz went to the p`lice And sez she: "Me hands are gory,
And you`ll put me away in a deep dark cell When once you`ve heard me story."
So they`ve put her away in a deep dark cell, Until her life be over
And what is the moral of the whole damn show, I wish I could discover. 

        Chorus:
        Oh Lip-Stick Liz! What a lousy life this is.
        It`s a hell of a break for a girl on the make,
        Oh Lip-Stick Liz!
