Elvis Costello - Carpetbaggers lyrics

[Verse 1: Jenny Lewis] They come to town when the war is over Dirty boots in the middle of the night Trollin' the bars hitting on the soldiers Boys give it up without a fight They say "Hey boy how about your place? I know you really want to take me home" Drop the bags off on the bedroom floor They make love with the lights on saying I'm a carpetbagger baby I'm coming to your town I'm gonna treat you kind I'm gonna rob you blind I'll smile all the time Whoa yeah x4 [Verse 2: Elvis Costello] Sally could've had any one of the boys But she couldn't love no one she could not control Friend of mine and her got married I don't hear too much from him anymore Last I heard he had a rope round his neck Draggin' around the grocery store Carrying her bags pushin' down the aisles He ain't got no home in this world anymore I'm a carpetbagger baby I'm coming to your town I'm gonna treat you kind I'm gonna rob you blind I'll smile all the time Oh yeah x4 They come to town when the party's over Books been written and true's been tried They'll take it all if the doors left open Steal the nose right from under your eyes I'm a carpetbagger baby I'm coming to your town I'm gonna treat you kind I'm gonna rob you blind I'll smile all the time Oh yeah x4
