lyrics

grass skirt hips
and aloha lips
and a harlots hollow kiss
a platic lei will not decay
it just gets thrown away

but all things considered now
who's really to blame?
working girls don't need your shame
if at the end of the day
they're gonna rape you anyway
you might as well get paid

and all the whalers and the sailors
they all want to nail her
but they don't get nothing for free
it takes a pocket full of tin
and a bottle full of gin
and a false act of chivalry

but all things considered now
who's really to blame?
working girls don't need your shame
if at the end of the day
they're gonna rape you anyway
you might as well get paid

mainland eggs and swollen legs
wrapped in star and spangled rags
trade in your poi for salt and soy
hold up your calabash and beg

but all things considered now
who's really to blame?
working girls don't need your shame
if at the end of the day
they're gonna rape you anyway
you might as well get paid
