She Sits On Me The Tatooed Lady

Mighty Sparrow

Transposer:

[Verse I] Now Listen to my story boys I need your sympathy The tatooed lady at the circus fell in love with me And to prove her love was sweet as sugar cane tardy She had my picture tatooed on her body She had the landing of the pilgrims on her shoulder And on her back she had the sunset of the west Right beneath her dimpled knee was a great big apple tree And the pyramids look lovely on her chest When she decided that she’d like to add my picture She simply couldn’t find a vacant spot you see    So she tatooed my poor face to a most peculier place Now when ever that gal sit down she sits on me    When ever that gal sit down she sit on me [Verse II] She had a small gardenia tatooed on her elbow And on her hip she had the lovely Queen of May And right there on her shapely spine you will see that pal of mine Or you could see the famous road to Mandalay She had two rusty hinges tatooed on her kneecaps They look so real they squeak each time she bend her knee But she filled me with disgrace when she tatooed my poor face now when ever that gal sit down she sit on me     Whenever that gal sit down she sit on me [Verse III] Now if your wondering why I’m look so sad and worried Now if your wondering why I’m feeling mighty low      I’d like to take a chance and kick her right square in the pants But if I do i’ll only kick myself I know Now the only time that you can see my picture Is when the tatooed lady takes a bath oh gee   I get a rear end view of course every time she rides a horse "cause whenever that gal sit down she sits on me         When ever that gal sit down she sits on me

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire humoristique d'un homme qui se retrouve dans une situation cocasse à cause de l'amour d'une femme tatouée, rencontrée au cirque. Elle lui a fait tatouer son portrait sur sa peau, mais de manière si originale qu'il se retrouve "assoiffé" de discrétion, puisque son visage est placé à un endroit peu approprié. Chaque fois qu'elle s'assoit, c'est lui qui subit les conséquences de cet engagement amoureux. Les tatouages qu’elle arbore évoquent divers motifs, ajoutant une touche colorée et excentrique à son image. Le contexte se déroule dans une ambiance de cirque, un monde où l'excentricité est mise en avant, mais ici, c'est une comédie sur l'amour et ses petites humiliations. Cela nous fait réfléchir sur les choix que l’on fait pour prouver notre affection et les surprises qu'ils peuvent engendrer.
