[Verse 1]

Well, there she is parading on the quayside

You can find her every night

Waiting for a stevedore from Tyneside

Why, it's Rene, the docker's delight


[Verse 2]

And if you just got off an oil tanker

And you've got the readies in the bin

Just make your way down to the Crown & Anchor

Ask for Rene (Ooh, hello ducks!) and you'll be well-in


[Chorus]

Well, she's Rene, the docker's delight

And a ship's in every night

Groping with a stoker from the coast of Kuala Lumpur


[Bridge]

Love is like an 'ole in the wall

A line-up in the warehouse, no trouble at all

If you can spare the money, you'll have a ball

She'll have yours, ah


[Verse 3]

Well, there's a kid of every shape and colour

Safely hid in coal sheds, double-locked

Well, it's been said that Rene is the mother

I wonder, well, there you go (Ha!)


[Chorus]

She's Rene, the docker's delight

And a ship's in every night

Groping with a stoker from the coast of Kuala Lumpur
