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..."
