Jean The Machine - Scott Walker

Whatever happened to Jean the machine

She used to live down the hall from me

And all of the boys in the band

Miss her so bad now

Ain’t it pitiful

She made her way from Hungary

A refugee with a voice like Callas

But somehow she couldn’t get on

So she took it off

At the, the local Palace

Jean come back (Why'd you go now)

Jean come back (Things are slow now)

Jean come back

My landlady said Jean’s a commie spy

And each time I asked for the reason why

My landlady said it’s a front

She bumps and grinds codes

To an audience of immigrants

It blows my mind when I think of Jean

Every night with a new routine

'Cos I play drums in the band

She used me as part

Of her dirty commie plan

Jean come back (we forgive you)

Jean come back (boy scouts honour)

Jean come back (Spiro Agnew)

Jean come back (To the Bolshoi)

Jean come back (To your homeland)

Jean come back (bring the microfilm)
