The Tiger Lillies - Trampled Lilly lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Trampled Lilly lyrics]
An ice cream dream
A young man with a glossy moustache
Approached her ingratiating and clean
He took her for a walk in the park
Inserted his finger in her glove
He took her to his apartment and
To her he made love
Trampled Lily, Trampled Lily
The next morning before going
Out he presented
Her with a ruffled peignoir of gin
After that each morning she
Read ladies’ magazines
In the afternoon she entertained gentlemen
Gentlemen on her bed
The young man gave way to an
Older man with a heavy beard
Trampled Lily, Trampled Lily
Under the influence of a lecture from a
Passing senator she decided to reform
She was placed in a back bedroom
With bars like a prison dorm
She gave birth to a defective infant
Placed in an orphanage overfull
And as she lost her freshness on
The streets the punters she pulled
Trampled Lily, Trampled Lily
She was continually harassed by
Masculine women in
Black bonnets trying to set her free
And as she reached her twentieth birthday
She died a loathsome disease
