| Walk you to the counter, (What you got to offer?)
|
| Pick you out a solder, (Look at you forever.)
|
| Walk you to the water, (Your eyes like a casino.)
|
| We ain't born typical.
|
| Find a piece of silver, (Pretty as a diagram.)
|
| And go down to the Rio. |
| (Put it in my left hand.)
|
| Put it in a fruit machine, (Everyone's a winner.)
|
| Laughin' like a seagull.
|
| You are a fever, you are a fever -- you ain't born typical.
|
| You are a fever, you are a fever -- you ain't born typical.
|
| Livin' in a suitcase, (Meet a clown, fall in love.)
|
| Went down to have you over, (Going 'round a breakup.)
|
| Take you to a jukebox, (That's the situation.)
|
| Pick you out a number. |
| (And that's our arrangement.)
|
| Dancing on the legs of a newborn pony,
|
| Left-right, left-right -- keep it up, son.
|
| Go ahead and have her, go ahead and leave her,
|
| You only ever had her when you were a fever.
|
| I am a fever, I am a fever -- I ain't born typical.
|
| I am a fever, I am a fever -- I ain't born typical.
|
| We are a fever, we are a fever -- we ain't born typical.
|
| We are a fever, we are a fever -- we ain't born typical.
|
| We are a fever, we are a fever -- we ain't born typical.
|
| We are a fever, we are a fever -- we ain't born typical. |
