The Lyrics
You've got a notched snout,
It's makin' you cry.
The blood's streamin' out;
The knife missed your eye.
You're Jake Gittes in Chinatown.
Lakers hadn't left—
Still in northern ice
They hadn't moved West
Yet with the franchise.
No pro basketball in this town.
With Dunaway you're sleepin'.
Her husband had a wake.
Budgets endless in Hollywood,
So let's shoot another take.
You've got a notched snout,
It's makin' you cry.
The blood's streamin' out;
The knife missed your eye.
You're Jake Gittes in Chinatown.
A kid from little-girl land
Gets humped by Polanski.
Then he takes off to Gaul land—
Says, "You can't extradite me!"
You've got a notched snout,
It's makin' you cry.
The blood's streamin' out;
The knife missed your eye.
You're Jake Gittes in Chinatown.
It's makin' you cry.
The blood's streamin' out;
The knife missed your eye.
You're Jake Gittes in Chinatown.
Lakers hadn't left—
Still in northern ice
They hadn't moved West
Yet with the franchise.
No pro basketball in this town.
With Dunaway you're sleepin'.
Her husband had a wake.
Budgets endless in Hollywood,
So let's shoot another take.
You've got a notched snout,
It's makin' you cry.
The blood's streamin' out;
The knife missed your eye.
You're Jake Gittes in Chinatown.
A kid from little-girl land
Gets humped by Polanski.
Then he takes off to Gaul land—
Says, "You can't extradite me!"
You've got a notched snout,
It's makin' you cry.
The blood's streamin' out;
The knife missed your eye.
You're Jake Gittes in Chinatown.
