作词 : Lane, Marriott
There she is parading on the quayside
You can find her every night
Ah, waiting for a stevedore from
Tyneside -
Why it's Rene, the docker's delight!
Well, if you just got off an oil tanker
And you've got the readies in the bin (Readies = cash and having them 'in the bin' means having money)
Just make your way down to
The Crown &
Anchor [London pub famous for being a rock music venue through the 60's and 70's) Ask for Rene (ohh, hello ducks!) and you'll be well in. She's Rene, the docker's delight, and a ship's in every night Romping with a stoker from the coast of Kuala Lumpur Love is like an 'ole in the wall A line-up in the warehouse no trouble at all If you can spare the money, you'll have a ball - She'll have yer 'awser (A hawser is a ship's rope used for mooring and this refers to something that in girth and length a gentleman woulod be proud to compare to a hawser) Well, there's a kid of every shape and colour Safely hid in coal-sheds, double locked (this alludes to black kids by white prostitutes, hidden away) Where it's been said that Rene is the mother. I wonder - well, there you go! She's Rene, the docker's delight, and a ship's in every night Groping with a stoker from the coast of Kuala Lumpur
