Текст песни
My sister had a plan
To break up with her boyfriend of eight years
Too strong an arm
Attached to a tattoo of his daughter's name
It looked to me to read Shanty Anne
Where he served on her galley in the Aleutians
Yeah yeah
The Aleutians yeah
They met underneath
Sombreros of San Pedro's west end
In sixty-two just out of school
When ships brought him in
She said he looked
A little like Claude Rains but with style
And she was no Bette Davis in her docent attire
Attire
Her docent attire
They got into a mess
In a diner in Sebastopol
He was telling her he loved her but
She was telling him he'd have to go
Cause when the ocean breeze is calling young men and maidens to the sea
The last thing on your mind is your little girl who's here with me
Me
Who's here with me
My sister since developed
An interest in the realists
She's working as an usher
In the town museum's lecture hall
I heard her boyfriend
Had his tattoo removed
By a carelessly placed fishing net
That jerked his arm in the waiting sea
