about

Story about the fickle nature of one night stands.

lyrics

Well there were five German submarines and a battleship in the harbour
The sailors they were in town that night, tryin’ to have every woman in sight
And the girl went into ecstasy when he said, “we could make out in the van easy?”
But she had to sing on stage that night, but she’d see him later if that’s alright
 
Chorus: That swine from the Rhine was used to spending money for the pleasures of a sexy woman of the night
But that swine from the Rhine, it didn’t cost him a dime, for the pleasure of the girl in the band that night
 
When the gig was done, and her clothes were changed
She was back on the stage with her dress all arranged, to entice that German sailor back up to talk to her again
Well the poor guy didn’t know what to do, so you showed him more leg, you gave him quite a view
That’s all that he needed to change his mind, he could see that you were the easy layin’ kind

Chorus: That swine from the Rhine was used to spending money for the pleasures of a sexy woman of the night
But that swine from the Rhine, it didn’t cost him a dime, for the pleasure of the girl in the band that night
 
Now she could hear the guys blowin’ the horn in the van, when she was tryin’ to bargain with her sailor man
Half an hour with the Hun, a job well done, and it’s back on the long road home
Did you think his love would be very warm? With a sailor it’s any port in a storm
He couldn’t find another woman that night in port, so he used you as a last resort

Chorus: That swine from the Rhine was used to spending money for the pleasures of a sexy woman of the night
But that swine from the Rhine, it didn’t cost him a dime, for the pleasure of the girl in the band that night
