Frankie Laine, he was singing Jezebel
I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel
I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl
I said, "Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will
So won't you let me see"
I said "won't you let me see"
Possibly a reference to the German rock singer Nico, who spurned Cohen’s advances but was  apparently  the muse for several of his songs including  “Take This Longing” .
