May not have too long to live
He's putting his hands in the wrong places
Time to rearrange his face
He's gonna dance with me instead
I'm gonna tap dance on his head
Don't tempt me
I'm half-way out of my seat
He's got the looks, he's got the lolly
Driving me clean off my trolley
Doing the jitterbug, doing the jive
Doing the shimmy, snakes alive
That's not a dance, that's S-E-X
Ban that couple, certificate X!
Get yer mittens off my gal
Or you'll end up as mincemeat pal
I've got friends, mean sons
They've got knives, chains, guns
Gas, grenades, knuckle-dusters,
Lazy Susans, Blockbusters
I'm sitting here, calm as I can
While you polish the floor with another man
I'm not mad, I'm a cuddly toy
Just keep me away from laughing boy
You say he's a relative, some hope
If he's your uncle, I'm the Pope
That gorilla you're dancing with May not have too long to live He's putting his hands in the wrong places Time to rearrange his face He's gonna dance with me instead I'm gonna tap dance on his head Don't tempt me I'm half-way out of my seat He's got the looks, he's got the lolly Driving me clean off my trolley Doing the jitterbug, doing the jive Doing the shimmy, snakes alive That's not a dance, that's S-E-X Ban that couple, certificate X! Get yer mittens off my gal Or you'll end up as mincemeat pal I've got friends, mean sons They've got knives, chains, guns Gas, grenades, knuckle-dusters, Lazy Susans, Blockbusters I'm sitting here, calm as I can While you polish the floor with another man I'm not mad, I'm a cuddly toy Just keep me away from laughing boy You say he's a relative, some hope If he's your uncle, I'm the Pope Explain Request ×
