Small Faces - Rene Lyrics

Rene


[This is a song about a London prostitute, so contains a lot of slang and
sexual innuendo, not all of which I understand!]

There she is parading on the quayside
You can find her every night
Ah, waiting for a [?] from Tyneside -
Why it's Rene, the docker's delight!

[There's a word in there I have no idea about, it sounds like "stevador",
whatever that is! Tyneside is a region in the north-east of England, home
of Newcastle, The Animals, Sting and film director Ridley Scott.]

Well, if you just got off an oil tanker
And you've got the readies (in the bin?) [readies = ready cash]
Just make your way down to The Crown
