Hvad synger piraten?

Uforholdsmæssigt meget besvær- til Bowies store morskab givetvis - har folk med at transskribere OG fortolke nummeret "Girl Loves Me", eftersom det benytter sig af et mix af mindst to særsprog, et "fiktivt", nadsat* og et reelt, men "hemmeligt", polari**; her er nyligst opdaterede afskrift på genius.com, med kommentarer:

Cheena so sound, so titty up this Malchick, say
Party up moodge, ninety vellocet round on Tuesday
Real bad dizzy snatch making all the homies mad, Thursday
Popo blind to the polly in the hole by Friday
Where the fuck did Monday go?
I'm go to this Giggenbach show
I'm sailin' in the chestnut tree
Who the fuck's gonna mess with me?

Girl loves me
Hey cheena
Girl don't speak
Girl loves me
Hey cheena
Girl don't speak

Where the fuck did Monday go?
I'm go to this Giggenbach show
Where the fuck did Monday go?
Two viddy at the Cheena
Two [Disney?] with the Red Rock
Yippie loving little zipshot
Professor wanshot yarbles
Snatch her weapons rush off
Splitter ded from his deng deng
Viddy viddy at the Cheena

Girl loves me
Hey cheena
Girl don't speak
Girl loves me
Hey cheena
Girl don't speak
Girl loves me
Hey cheena
Girl don't speak

Where the fuck did Monday go?
Where the fuck did Monday go?
Where the fuck did Monday go?

Girl loves me
Hey cheena
Girl don't speak
Girl loves me
Hey cheena
Girl don't speak

Where the fuck did Monday go?

Most of the lyrics are totally wrong.. It’s definitely not ‘Hey dreamer’, it’s ‘Hey cheena’ (which means ‘Hey woman’ in Nadsat). It’s also ‘Who the fuck’s gonna mess with me’..

“Popo blind to the polly in the hole by Friday”
–Police being paid off to turn the other way

It’s a mix of Nadsat and Polari, plus – to keep it extra fun – his own bespoke cutup technique he and Brian Eno used on Outside. This will a fun challenge if he doesn’t release liners!

–interpret of line 1: A woman so attractive she could use it to manipulate someone (titty up = influence a boss with female attributes)

Thats great that cheena means woman. I was getting a strong chine girl vibe from the chorus. Im eager to make out the couple missing lines. This is more than a clockwork orange, for sure.. But what else is it?

I’m go to this Giggenbach show

“Two viddy at the Cheena
Two Disney [??} with a Red Rock
Yippie loving it so fitzo
[?}Professor wanshot[/?] garbles
Stack ya weapons rush off
Splitter dead from his deng deng”
My best shot, but uncertain as you can see, in a couple of places. Poring over Clockwork Orange appendix, (‘Deng’ means money) could have sworn I heard ‘devotchka’ (girl) but seems not…

Party up moodge [man], ninety vellocet [drug] round on Tuesday

‘I’m sailin’ in the chestnut tree', I think…

This is from a Rolling Stone article: “the lyrics to "Girl Loves Me” come from Polari, a form of British slang used by gay men in mid-20th-century London. “He also took some words from A Clockwork Orange,” says Visconti. “The lyrics are wacky, but a lot of British people, especially Londoners, will get every word.”

Polari (or alternatively Parlare, Parlary, Palare, Palarie, Palari; from Italian parlare, "to talk") is a form of cant slang used in Britain by actors, circus and fairground showmen, merchant navy sailors, criminals, prostitutes, and the gay subculture. There is some debate about its origins,^[3] but it can be traced back to at least the nineteenth century and possibly the sixteenth century.^[4] There is a long-standing connection with Punch and Judy street puppet performers who traditionally used Polari to converse.

Nadsat is a fictional register or argot used by the teenagers in Anthony Burgess's novel A Clockwork Orange. In addition to being a novelist, Burgess was a linguist^[1] and he used this background to depict his characters as speaking a form of Russian-influenced English. The name itself comes from the Russian suffix equivalent of "-teen" as in "thirteen" (-надцать, -nad·tsat'). Nadsat was also used in Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of the book.
