lyrics

Tangier
Is Very Queer:
Cut your throat
Right off the boat,
Oh Baby!

Jean Genet,
He had Marseilles.
Now Tangier
Will have its day,
Oh Baby!

Tangier is full of queers,
Moussay Il Idray,
How did it happen?

Our boys are strong,
Their daggers drawn.
Yet Burroughs comes to live.
How did it happen?

Tangier
Is Very Queer:
Cut your throat
Right off the boat,
Oh Baby!

Capote stays,
And brays and brays,
But never prays
On holy days,
Oh Baby!

Tangier is a place of sin.
You cannot be too fat or thin,
Too rich, too poor, too oversexed.
To stay, your life will be a wreck,
Oh Baby!

Euro, US, Arab, son,
You’ll raise a glass by Ramadan.
The boys will get you
Like Paul Bowles.
You’ll live in holes.
Oh baby!

You’ll die here,
Languishing on kif.
You’ll smoke
Until your body’s stiff.
How did this happen?

Moussay Il Idray,
How did this happen?
Tangier.

Malcolm Forbes,
He came to play
With his toy soldiers,
Then he stayed.
He was the toy
By end of day.
How did it happen?

And Barbara Hutton,
Woolworth Queen,
Her villa here
Had made the scene.
But Tangier drugs
Made her a fiend.
How did it happen?

Tangier
Is very gay.
Naked Lunch
On holiday.
Oh baby!

You catch the sun,
The Kasbah fun.
You can’t get out,
You shout and shout.
Moussay il Idray,
How did it happen?

You catch the sun,
The Kasbah fun.
You can’t get out,
You shout and shout.

Tangier
Is very gay.
Naked Lunch
On holiday.
Oh baby!

Moussay il Idray,
How did it happen?

Moussay il Idray.
Moussay il Idray.
Moussay il Idray.
How did it happen?

Tangier
Is very gay.
Naked Lunch
On holiday.

How did it happen?
