The Spider And The Fly |
Sittin' thinkin' sinkin' drinkin' |
Wond’ring what I’ll do when I’m through tonight |
Smokin' mopin' maybe just hopin' |
Some little girl will pass on by |
To wanna be alone |
But I love my girl at home |
I remember what she said |
She said, My! |
My! |
My! |
Don’t tell lies! |
Keep fidelity in your head! |
My! |
My! |
My! |
Don’t tell lies! |
When you’ve done your show go to bed |
Don’t say Hi! |
like a spider to a fly |
Jump right ahead and you’re dead! |
Sit up fed up low down go 'round |
Down to the bar at the place I’m at |
Sittin' drinkin' superficially thinkin' |
About the rins’d out blonde on my left |
And then I said Hi! |
like a spider to a fly |
Rememb’ring what my little girl said |
She was coming flirty |
She look’d about thirty |
I would have run away, but I was on my own |
She told me later she’s a machine operator |
She said she liked the way I held the microphone |
I said, My! |
My! |
My! |
Like a spider to a fly |
Jump right ahead in my web! |
