Venus In Bother Boots
AKA "Venus In Bovver Boots"*

lyrics: MacGowan
time: 2:04


There she goes a-walking, walking so high
Looking up and down at every guy
Fixing them with a mean-looking eye
A look that'll make ya wanna lay down and die

I don't know where she's going to
I don't know what she's gonna do
No, she isn't very cute
She's a venus in Bother boots
She's a venus in Bother boots
She's a venus in Bother boots
Bloody great big boots
Hey hey hey hey

I don't know where she's going to
I don't know what she's gonna do
No, she isn't very cute
She's a Venus In Bother Boots
She's a Venus In Bother Boots
She's a Venus In Bother Boots
Bloody great big boots
Hey hey hey hey

Well I've been told that she's been nightly screwed
But I don't know where and I don't know who
I guess that she's just as free as a bird
Never even says a fucking word

I don't know where she's going to
I don't know what she's gonna do
No, she isn't very cute
She's a Venus In Bother Boots
She's a Venus In Bother Boots
She's a Venus In Bother Boots
In bloody great Doc Martins
Venus In Bother Boots

*I'm told the terms "Bother Boots" and "Bovver Boots" are interchangeable, to mean big D.M. type boots, good for causing bother in, that football hooligans, skinheads, and punk rockers wore in the 70s. Whether Shane says "Bother" or "Bovver" I can't tell, but all the LP and CD covers list the song as "Venus In Bother Boots".
