|
| [01:16.77] |
Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet |
| [01:20.13] |
The sexy boy smiled in dismay |
| [01:24.27] |
She took out four twenties, 'cause she liked round figures |
| [01:27.97] |
Everybody's a queen for a day |
| [01:30.49] |
|
| [01:31.16] |
Oh, babe, I'm on fire and you know I admire |
| [01:35.12] |
Your body, why don't we slip away? |
| [01:39.19] |
Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin' |
| [01:43.38] |
Sha la la la, this way |
| [01:46.10] |
|
| [01:47.37] |
Oh, sha la la la la, sha la la la la |
| [01:51.54] |
Hey, baby, why don't we slip away |
| [01:56.08] |
|
| [02:02.48] |
Luscious and gorgeous, oh what a hunk of muscle! |
| [02:06.60] |
Call out the national guard |
| [02:09.79] |
She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her means |
| [02:13.56] |
From off of the formica topped bar |
| [02:16.74] |
|
| [02:17.20] |
And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly |
| [02:21.29] |
And boldly out of this world |
| [02:24.86] |
And despite people's derision, proved to be more than diversion |
| [02:29.31] |
Sha la la la, later on |
| [02:31.89] |
|
| [02:32.46] |
And then sha la la la la, he entered her slowly |
| [02:36.33] |
And showed her where he was coming from |
| [02:39.75] |
And then sha la la la la, he made love to her gently |
| [02:44.31] |
It was like she'd never ever come |
| [02:47.04] |
|
| [02:47.59] |
And then sha la la la la, sha la la la la |
| [02:51.44] |
When the sun rose and he made to leave |
| [02:55.40] |
You know, sha la la la la, sha la la la la |
| [02:59.83] |
Neither one regretted a thing |
| [03:03.55] |
|
| [03:18.51] |
Hey, that cunt's not breathin' bybe |
| [03:20.89] |
I think she's had too much |
| [03:22.56] |
Of something or other, you know what I mean |
| [03:26.33] |
I don't mean to scare you |
| [03:28.33] |
But you're the one who came here |
| [03:30.42] |
And you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave |
| [03:33.32] |
|
| [03:33.92] |
I'm not being smart |
| [03:35.17] |
Or trying to be cold on my part |
| [03:37.66] |
And I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve |
| [03:41.47] |
But you know people get all emotional |
| [03:44.15] |
And sometimes man, they just don't act rational |
| [03:46.35] |
You know, they think they're just on TV |
| [03:48.33] |
|
| [03:49.50] |
Sha la la la, sha la la la hey hey |
| [03:55.18] |
Why don't you just slip her away? |
| [03:58.79] |
|
| [04:04.15] |
You know, I'm glad that we met, man |
| [04:06.29] |
It really was nice talking |
| [04:09.06] |
And I really wish that there was a little more time to speak |
| [04:11.89] |
But you know it could be a hassle |
| [04:13.68] |
Trying to explain myself to a police officer |
| [04:15.91] |
About how it was that your old lady got herself stiffed |
| [04:18.87] |
|
| [04:19.41] |
And it's not like we could help |
| [04:22.01] |
But there was nothing no one could do |
| [04:23.31] |
And if there was, man, you know I would have been the first |
| [04:26.46] |
Well, it's a universal truth |
| [04:29.03] |
But when someone turns that blue |
| [04:30.78] |
And then you just know that bitch will never fuck again |
| [04:33.35] |
|
|
By the way, that's really some bad shit |
|
That you came to our place with |
|
But you ought to be more careful around the little girls |
|
It's either the best or it's the worst |
|
And since I don't have to choose |
|
I guess I won't and I know this ain't no way to treat a guest |
| [04:34.10] |
But why don't you grab your old lady by the feet? |
| [04:36.40] |
And just lay her out on the darkened street |
| [04:38.23] |
And by morning, she's just another hit and run... |
| [04:49.18] |
You know, some people got no choice |
| [04:51.43] |
And they can't never find a voice |
| [04:53.12] |
To talk with that they can even call their own |
| [04:55.96] |
|
| [04:57.02] |
So the first thing that they see |
| [04:58.83] |
That allows them the right to be |
| [05:00.25] |
Why they follow it? |
| [05:01.67] |
You know, it's called bad luck |
| [05:05.38] |
|
| [05:23.04] |
Sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la |
| [05:30.54] |
Sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la |
| [05:38.23] |
Sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la |
| [05:45.83] |
Sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la |
| [05:53.46] |
|
|
Believe me, that it's just a lie |
|
That's what she tells her friends |
|
'Cause the real song, the real song |
|
Which she won't even admit to herself |
|
Beat narrow heart, the song lots of people know |
|
It's a painful song, it'll only say the truth |
|
It lasts for sad songs |
|
Penny for a wish |
|
A wish won't make you a soldier |
|
A pretty kiss or a pretty face |
|
Can't have it's way |
|
The champs like us who were born to play |
|
Love is gone away |
|
And there's no one here now |
|
And there's nothing left to say |
|
But, oh, how I miss him, baby |
|
Oh, baby, come on and slip away |
|
Come on, baby, why don't you slip away? |
|
Love is gone away |
|
Took the rings off my fingers |
|
And there's nothing left to say |
|
But, oh how, oh how I need him, baby |
|
Come on, baby, I need you baby |
|
Oh, please don't slip away |
|
I need your loving so bad, babe |
|
Please don't slip away |
