Subject: Lyr Add: FILIPINO MAID (Vin Garbutt) From: GUEST,Martin from Germany Date: 16 Jan 16 - 04:50 PM FILIPINO MAID Vin Garbutt Marilyn sleeps in the washroom In a nice cosy bed by the washing machine Observing the world from her flip flops And serving up soup in a silver tureen CHORUS: She sends her money home to Mindanao. How she affords a smile like that I really don't know how She'll rise at five from her chamber In a nice cosy bed by the washing machine In the suds on the floor of a stranger She's sailing away to the Philippines. CHORUS At noon she's grooming the carpet With a modern machine that beats as it cleans Sounds like the jet of an airplane Flying he home to the Philippines. CHORUS It's three o'clock and she's yearning For her nice cosy bed by the washing machine But it's little money she's earning She must move on, get another place clean. CHORUS There' no self pity in Marilyn A problem halved is a problem shared With a thousand Filipina maids on Sunday a Statue square Ah, Marilyn's scurring , grafting Till seven o'clock and the sun gone down A jasmine breeze is a-wafting Round the snap of a child in a Philippine town. CHORUS She sends her money home to Mindanao |
