Not your sister, fearful temper
You're my DC oh Anna, oh

Henry Tudor left you lifeless
You're my DC oh Anna, oh

Keepa, keepa, keepa, keep me damn down
Let it low
Let me know where you go (Watch me now)
Papa, papa, papa
Get me down
Deep, deep down

If you don't have the ace of hearts
My dear, you're a lost man
Falcon for you, Anna,
from the left arm of the falconer
Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna L'Arlésienne

Swim low
In the back dry in the night

Put it there, get the money (Watch me now)
In the back of a Volvo car
