Содержание
Rumours have persisted for years that this song is about John Paul Jones and some rather decadent exploits at the Royal Orleans Hotel. The line about `kissing whiskers’ infers some sort of involvement with a drag queen. In the song, Jones is referred to as John Cameron, to avoid naming him directly.
Текст
One town love, You better take care how you use it Try to make it last all night, And if you take your pick Be careful how you choose it, Sometimes its hard to feel it bite Feel it bite. A man I know, went down to Louisiana, Had himself a bad, bad fight And when the sun peeks through John ?????????? ???????? He kissed the whiskers and left and right Whiskers! Now, now, now, A fight subsides Out at a hotel in the quarter, Our friendship took a bash tonight Now love gets hot, Look far for a sea with water Grew whiskers sittin' there through the night Whiskers! Down on Bourbon street, You know it's right You can see my friend, When they run around us in the night Most everywhere, Until the closet's bare Run for the razor, Doin' up my hair New Orleans queens, Sure know how to schmooze it Maybe for some that seems alright When I step out, I'm struck down with my sugar She done talk like Barry White! Now, one town love, Take care how you use it And try to make it last all night Take your pick, Be careful how you choose it Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.
