Lolita
Lolita went to the bar and filled her mouth with brandy
Danced round the men who wanted a touch of her body.
When it comes to dancing, she was always on her toes
And everyone knew what she does
Oh my! She'll take you for a ride too.
Lolita believed in the sadist way
A cleaner, she worked hard and made her wage
She found her happiness underneath other men
Lolita loved Jimmy and mother'd his child
A baby girl but Jimmy had bigger dreams to fulfilled
He left with no note on the bed.
And the child,
She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning
Standing four feet ten in one sock
She was Lola in slacks, she was Dolly at school
She was Doleres on the dotted line
But in her mother's arms, she was Lolita.
It was hell enough just to pay the rent
Knows no one 'cause she was just an immigrant
She needed money and she needed it quick
No more options but to go back to the bars
She woke her Lolita and tuck'd her in the car
They drove out of the city and found the motel bar
The waitress babysat little Lolita while she danced.
Oh my oh my
Still slippery like a snake
In the morning, she's made double of her wage
She took her girl and money as she went home
She promised Lolita they ain't coming back
But when the night came, they were back at the bar.
And that's a fact.
Twenty two years gone and the girl is now a woman
Like her mother, she believed in the sadist way
Old Lolita's dances got her AIDS
And the Devil's come for her soul.
Now it was three am, little lolita was making her way home
Her babysitting shift has ended and it was starting to snow
She sees a young man walking barefoot alone
It was three am.
He waved his hands with tears in his eyes
But little Lolita just sped up and remembered mother's advice
"You don't ever give a man a free ride"
Danced round the men who wanted a touch of her body.
When it comes to dancing, she was always on her toes
And everyone knew what she does
Oh my! She'll take you for a ride too.
