Surabaya Johnny

I was only a child when I met you. You came from the Burma Lagoon. You said, "Would you like a bit of travel?" You promised me all but the moon. I asked you what you did for a living. And you swore, God's my witness, to me. That you worked for the railroad people, And would never ever follow the sea. You said a lot, Johnny. Not a word was true, Johnny. You betrayed me, Johnny The moment we met. I hate your guts Johnny. Don't stand there grinning Take that cigarette out of your mouth, you pig. [Chorus] Surabaya Johnny, Why did you treat me so wrong? Surabaya, Johnny, My God, and I do love you so. Surabaya, Johnny, Why am I feeling so low? You have no heart, Johnny. And I do love you so. At first, it was always Sunday, As long as I pleased you at night. But only a few weeks later, Not a thing I did was right. Up and down we tramped through the Punjab, The river along to the sea. But now when I look in the mirror, There's a broken face that I see. You wanted no love, Johnny. You wanted the loot, Johnny. But your lips, Johnny, I could never forget. You asked for everything, Johnny, I gave you more, Johnny. Take that cigarette out of your mouth, you shit Surabaya, Johnny. Why did treat me so bad? Surabaya, Johnny, My God, and I love you so. Surabaya, Johnny. Why am I feeling so low? You have no heart, Johnny, And I do love you so. I wish I had paid more attention To that nickname of yours and the rest. All along that bloody awful coastline, You have been a notorious guest. In a sixpence-a-night bed one morning, I will wake to the thunder of the sea. And your ship will be leaving the harbor, And you won't even wave to me. You have no heart, Johnny! You're a bastard, Johnny! Why did you leave me? Can you tell me that? I love you more, Johnny, Than the first night, Johnny. Take that fucking cigarette out of your mouth, you shit. [Chorus]
