D#m/Bb B Badd9 B
They've come to find you Odalisque
As the light dies horribly
Bbm Bbsus4 D#m (F# G#)
On a fire escape you walk
Bbm D#m/B
All rare and resolved to drop
D#m/Bb (bass: F# G#) B Badd9 B
And when they find you odalisque
They will rend you terribly
Stitch from stitch till all
Your linen and limbs will fall
D#m/Bb (bass: F# G#) B Badd9 B

E--4--2h4-2h4---2h4-2h4----7-7-- (x2, repeat w/ chord pattern)

Lazy lady had a baby girl and a sweet sound it made, la ah...
Raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt in the railroad culdesac, la ah ah...
C# D#7 C# C#7
And what do we do with 10 baby shoes, a kit bag full of marbles
A G#m F# E F# G#
And a broken billiard cue, what do we do, what do we do
G# G# G# B B (x2)
La ah...
Fifteen stitches will mend those britches right, and then rip them down again, la ah...
Sapling switches will rend those rags alright, what a sweet sound it makes, la ah...
And what do we do with 10 dirty jews, a thirty-ought full of rock salt
G#m F# E F# Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 Bb5...
And a warm afternoon, what do we do, what do we do
Bb5 Bb5... B B Bb5 Bb5...
Lay your belly under mine you're naked under me, under me
Such a filthy dimming shine, the way you kick and scream, kick and scream
D# D#/D Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 D# D#/D D#/C# D#/C
And what do we do with ten baby shoes, a kit bag full of marbles
And a broken billiard cue, what do we do, what do we do
G# G# G# B B (x2)
La ah...
G# B B G# C# G#
Lazy lady had a baby girl, and a sweet sound it made
