Don t Tempt Me, Richard Thompson
transcribed by [email protected]
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
Don t tempt me
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!
Don t tempt me
Don t tempt me
Don t tempt me
I m half-way out of my seat
Ooh I m a patient man
Ooh But its out of hand
If there s one thing I can t stand
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
Guitar Solo
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!
