You leave the theater
Jolly and warm
Your friends are all laughing
Like the girl on your arm
The vagrants and drunkards
Who prowl night’s highstreet
Are no more your concern
Than that clerk you mistreat
But you should know better
Being trained, after all
By the greediest bastards
To know that the walls
Hear all you say,
And the shadows see you
And that in the world's gutters
Her secrets accrue
Yes you, you've done wrong
And tonight it's my duty to see you undone
We look out for our friends
So by blackmail or arrows, your oppression ends
One after another
Your friends leave the bar
For your final walk home
It’s just you and the stars
Around the last corner
You don’t hear my feet
As I drift through the darkness
My dagger unsheathed
But I want you to see me
A special request
From the clerk that you’ve tortured
Who’s safe home in bed
In your final moments
You’ll know that he’s won
On behalf of the lowborn
Red Jenny has come
Because you, you’ve done wrong
And tonight it's my duty to see you undone
We look out for our friends
So by blackmail or arrows, your oppression ends
Class casts a shadow
Long as the sun
And it’s in that darkness
That our work gets done
And much as she’d rather
Have nothing but fun
Jenny can’t rest
‘Til your fortune’s in ruins
Because you, you’ve done wrong
It’s forever her duty to see you undone
She looks out for her friends
So by blackmail or arrows, your oppression ends
