the cloverhearts - gertrude's ghost: the haunting of hafenklang lyrics
[verse 1]
this is the tale of a girl i once knew
born in eimsbüttel, her name was gertrude
queen of the ska scene, she liked her boys rude
now dearly departed, she left us too soon
from gun club to komet she’d paint the town red
tuesdays through sundays, spent mondays in bed
no rest for the wicked, i’ll sleep when i’m dead
and wicked i am was the motto she read
[pre+chorus]
now gertrude’s dead and gone
but she’ll livе on in song
[chorus]
one drink (one drink)
one round (onе round)
let’s make the ol’ girl proud
raise a toast to gertrude’s ghost
she’s the devil’s problem now
one shot (one shot)
let’s go (let’s go)
let’s let the ol’ girl know
raise a glass to the best in class
bottoms up for gertrude’s ghost
(hey)
(hey)
(hey)
[verse 2]
sometimes you’ll catch her at hafenklang still
creeping out the locals whilst nursing a pils
showing off her spooky foosballing sk!lls
singing “ghost town” that’ll give you the chills
you’re probably wondering how she met her maker
by the hand of god or the undertaker
class a narcotics or deathly haymakers
the truth is gertrude slipped and fell
[pre+chorus]
now gertrude’s dead and gone
but she’ll live on in song
[chorus]
one drink (one drink)
one round (one round)
let’s make the ol’ girl proud
raise a toast to gertrude’s ghost
she’s the devil’s problem now
one shot (one shot)
let’s go (let’s go)
let’s let the ol’ girl know
raise a glass to the best in class
bottoms up for gertrude’s ghost
[bridge]
so the lesson today is a lesson as old as time
live your life today, live your life the way that you like
yeah, the lesson today is a lesson as old as time
live your life today cause tomorrow you could slip and die
(la la la)
(la la la)
(la la la la la la la)
(la la la)
(la la la)
(la la la la la la la)
[chorus]
one drink
one round
make the ol’ girl proud
raise a toast to gertrude’s ghost
she’s the devil’s problem now
one shot
let’s go
let’s let the ol’ girl know
raise a glass to the best in class
bottoms up for gertrude’s ghost (let’s go!)
[chorus]
one drink (one drink)
one round (one round)
let’s make the ol’ girl proud
raise a toast to gertrude’s ghost
she’s the devil’s problem now
one shot (one shot)
let’s go (let’s go)
let’s let the ol’ girl know
raise a glass to the best in class
bottoms up for gertrude’s ghost
