Serafina
In Callao there lives a gal whose name is -
Serafina Serafina Serafina
She sleeps all day and works all night on the
old Callao Marina - Serafina Oh, Serafina
She's the queen, me boys, of all the gals that
live in the ole' Casino - Serafina! Serafina!
She used to kiss for monkey nuts but now she
works for vino - Serafina Oh, Serafina
At robbing silly sailors, boys, No gal was ever
keener - Serafina Serafina
She'll make you pay right through the nose,
that lovely - Serafina Serafina Oh, Serafina
She'll guzzle pisco, beer and gin, on rum her
mum did wean her - Serafina Serafina
She smokes just like a chimney stack on a
P.S.N.C steamer - Serafina Oh, Serafina
Serafina's got no shoes I been ashore and seen
her Serafina! Serafina!
She's got no time to put them on that
hard-worked - Serafina. Serafina Oh, Serafina
When I was young and in me prime, I first met -
Serafina Serafina Serafina
In Callao we saw the sights and then went up to
Lima - Serafina Oh, Serafina
But the finest sight I ever saw was little -
Serafina, Serafina Serafina
But the very next day as we sailed away, I
wished I'd never been there - Serafina Oh, Serafina
For I was skint, me clothes was gone, and so
was Serafina - Serafina! Serafina!
She'd done me brown, she'd sunk me down, that
dirty she-hyena - Serafina Oh, Serafina
I used to love a little girl whose name was
- Serafina Serafina Serafina
But she's gone off with a Dago man who plays a
concertina. - Serafina Oh, Serafina
