Lyrics

Note: another song from Hong Kong by Malibog, who explains “The Wanch is the Hong Kong Hash House; the Firehouse is a bad bar full of bad bad girls who can’t afford to wear clothes; the SouthSide is a Gentlemen’s Hash which to be a member of you must pay fees by direct debit; Lip-stick is a local (blow-job) girlie bar; and Sauerkraut and Candy are Hash Tarts.

I’ve been a short-cutter for many a year And I’ve spent all my money, Down the Wanch, for the beer. But now I’m reforming, my name to restore, And I never will be the short-cutter, no more.

CHORUS: So it’s no nay never, No nay never, no more Will I be, a short-cutter, No never, no more.

Well it’s off to a Firehouse I’m known to frequent, Mumersun knows, my money was spent. Ask her for credit, she answered me, “Yeah!” So just like the SouthSide - I’m on autopay.

When you ask for a screw, in my belief, You should tell the good lady you’ll put on a sheath. But being a short-cutter, I forgot what I say, And now she tells me, I’ve got twins on the way.

A short-cut to the Wanch, gave me nothing but strife, When I said I’ll go sober, to my darling wife. I short-cut the shower, when I’d been with them whores, Wasn’t she with Lip-stick in my drawers.

Now dating a German, is cheap for the price, They bonk before dinner, and earn it but thrice. So you can short-cut the Fraulein - don’t take her out, Just let her go hungry while you eat Sauerkraut.

“You must marry the girl, for what you have done,” Said her dad with a smile - as he pointed his gun. But being a short-cutter, that wasn’t for me, You don’t buy the store when you want some Candy.

But the times they are nigh for me to repent And watch what I do, and the money I spent. No more a short-cutter - “Oh is it my turn to shout?” “Well fuck-off you lot, I was on my way out!”
