Riverboat Gamblers the song we used to call wasting time

Select language to translate this lyric

No kidding, do the children really have no ears?
Leave the bassinet lying so the snakes on the ground,
they can come and find them.
Is there really a mongoose around here?
Immune to venom bites and serpent strikes and such
'Cause I don't mind
If you stay way from me
Being spurned is fine
If it means that I can eat,
So check this out:
Well I chew 'em up and then spit 'em up again,
Drown 'em in 'cause I had enough of them;
Well you been force-fed and I know why
Gotta shed, shed, shed, shed, shed, shed, shed your skin
For street clothes,
Gotta get real soft & smooth 'til you hit the groove
And you get your milking,
Can we get Riki Tiki Tavi here?
Lemme see if I get it right,
Will we sleep tonight
in beds?
'Cause I don't mind
If you stay away from me,
Being spurned is fine
If it means that I can eat,
Well check this out:
I chew 'em up & then spit 'em up again,
Drown 'em in 'cause I had enough of them;
Well you been force-fed & I know why
Well I don't mind if you stay away from me,
Being spurned is fine
If it means that I can eat,
Check this out: well I chew 'em up & spit 'em out again
Drown 'em in 'cause I had enough of them,
Well you been force-fed & I know why:
You're wasting your time.
