Mr. Soot's Little Black Book - Lyrics - Unextraordinary Gentlemen

Unextraordinary Gentlemen is a musical project formed in Los Angeles in 2005 by bassist keyboardist Richard Pilawski & vocalist lyricist Eric Schreeck to "...explore our love for post-punk, synth-pop, industrial & experimental music combined with the literary genre of Victorian fantasy." The project went public in early 2007, joined by Jennifer Pomerantz on violin. The band's name is a tongue-in-cheek nod to Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Got gallies on Gone trolling for bit o’ fun Under the bridge where they keep the real ladies! Her name was Christina Strumpet by trade A character in Mister Soot’s Traveling Parade It’s really quite handsome It’s never a tiresome night when the petticoats twirl It’s never a dull scene when his girls emerge From the steam in their carnival colors The calliope song Goes rolling for far too far Under the bridge where they don’t know for daylight The trollops go by and String up passersby No mercy for debtors in Mister Soot’s black book la-la-la It’s almost like magic It treats for the tricks Under the bridge where the wonders reside Come give them a go but leave when you’re told No horses for beggars in Mister Soot’s book But it’s really fantastic It’s rarely so tragic when a boy or a girl buys a girl It’s never a washout with nine pairs of *** out From the steam Here they come in their carnival colors, come on!
