Karaoke Track: Amsterdam by David Bowie (Laughing Gnome) - Karaoke Nerds

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings
From the wide open sea

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who sleeps

While the river bank weeps
To the old willow tree

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who dies

Full of beer, full of cries
In a drunken town fight

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who's born

On a hot muggy morn
By the dawn's early light

In the port of Amsterdam
Where the sailors all meet

There's a sailor who eats
Only fish heads and tails

And he'll show you his teeth
That have rotted too soon
That can haul up the sails

That can swallow the moon

And he yells to the cook
With his arms open wide

Hey, bring me more fish
Throw it down by my side

And he wants so to belch
But he's too full to try

80 he stands up and laughs
And he zips up his fly

In the port of Amsterdam
You can see sailors dance
Paunches bursting their pants
Grinding women to porch

They've forgotten the tune
That their whiskey voice
croaked

Splitting the night
With the roar of their jokes

And they turn and they dance
And they laugh and they lust

Till the rancid sound of the
accordion bursts

And then out of the night
With their pride in their pants
And the sluts that they tow
Underneath the street lamps

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who drinks
And he drinks and he drinks

And he drinks once again

He'll drink to the health
Of the whores of Amsterdam

Who've given their bodies
To a thousand other men

Yeah, they've bargained their
virtue

Their goodness all gone
For a few dirty coins
Well he just can't go on

Throws his nose to the sky
And he aims it up above

And he pisses like I cry
On the unfaithful love

In the port of Amsterdam

In the port of Amsterdam
