OK, the actual lyrics, as he does them in the studio, are as
follows:
A A sus A A sus
A rainy afternoon
A A sus A A sus
Spent in the warmest room
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..."

Her brother barry said
when he married marrianne
A wife has three great attributes
Insurgence, resolve and off had charm
well that's not enough sometimes
and she may speak her mind
Juliana she believed
the only way to defend is to disarm
Chorus
Bridge
DI know some people whose EmIdea of fun
is to Clie face down in the Amriver
in the Cafternoon Amsun
DOh let me be as Emfree as them
Don't Clet her pass this way Gagain
You cannot be blamed
But I've become insane
with thought of lust, thoughts of power, thoughts of love
and the thought of chairman Mao
We've had such little time
be it your place or mine
I can't wait to take our blood test
oh baby, lets take our blood test now
(Chorus)
In the live version on the CD single of "Accident waiting to happen" Uncle
Bill says "I can't wait to take our drug test, etc.... Pretty funny, I
thought. I'm not exactly sure about the bridge, but it works for me. correct
as necessary. Enjoy!
