Songtekst

When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot in life, Laléna
Can't blame ya, Laléna

Arty tart, ladeda
Can your part get much sadder
That's your lot in life, Laléna
Can't blame ya, Laléna

Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face with despair
That's your lot in life, Laléna
Can't blame ya, Laléna

When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot in life, Laléna
I can't blame ya, Laléna

Arty tart, oh so ladeda
Can your part ever get, ever get much sadder
That's your lot in life, Laléna
I can't blame ya, no no no, Laléna
Oh, Laléna

Trivia

In 2004 verklaarde Donovan in een interview dat de titel was afgeleid van de Oostenrijkse actrice en zangeres Lotte Lenya (1898-1981). Hij werd geïnspireerd door de rol van de prostituée Jenny die zij speelde in de film The Threepenny Opera (Die 3-Groschen-Oper) uit 1931.
