She lEay before me and said D A Asus A A sus "Yes it's true that I have seen some naked men"
As she made for the door Leaving me on the floor I wish I'd done biology For an urge within me wanted to do it then Chorus:
And here she cEomes again And I'm Dsitting on my hands And she singAs to me that siren song Here she Ecomes again and I'm Dbiting my lip A A sus A Asus But it won't be long
As Brother Barry said as he married Marion The wife has three great attributes, Intelligence, a Swiss Army knife and charm But that's not enough some times And she did speak her mind And told them all that she believed The only way to disarm is to disarm Bridge
BmI know people whose IdF#mea of fun Is throwing Dstones in the Ariver in the Dafternoon Asun Oh Bmlet me be as frF#mee as them Don't lEet her pass this way again
Instrumental, play chords to the verses Though you cannot be blamed, but I've become inflamed With thoughts of lust and thoughts of power thoughts of love and thoughts of Chairman Mao We have such little time at your place or mine I can't wait till we take our blood tests Oh baby, let's take our blood tests now Chorus again, then A A sus A A sus E A It won't be long Admittedly, what Uncle Bill says in concert is different. He tends to substitute "hairy" for "naked" in verse one and "drugs tests" for "blood tests" during gigs, as William judiciously notes. "She said it was only a figment of speech..."
