The Spider And The Fly - Remastered 2002
Sittin', thinkin', sinkin', drinkin'
Wondering what I'd do when I'm through tonight
Smokin', mopin', maybe just hopin'
Some little girl will pass on by
Don't wanna be alone, but I love my girl at home
I remember what she said
She said, "My, my, my don't tell lies
Keep fidelity in your head
My, my, my, don't tell lies
When you're done, you sure go to bed
Don't say hi, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead and you're dead"
Sit up, fed up, low down, go round
Down to the bar at the place I'm at
Sitting, drinking, superficially thinking
About the rinsed-out blonde on my left
And then I said, "Hi", like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said
She was common, flirty, she looked about 30
I would have run away, but I was on my own
She told me later, she's a machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said my, my, like the spider to the fly
Jump right ahead in my web
Wondering what I'd do when I'm through tonight
Smokin', mopin', maybe just hopin'
Some little girl will pass on by
Don't wanna be alone, but I love my girl at home
I remember what she said
She said, "My, my, my don't tell lies
Keep fidelity in your head
My, my, my, don't tell lies
When you're done, you sure go to bed
Don't say hi, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead and you're dead"
Sit up, fed up, low down, go round
Down to the bar at the place I'm at
Sitting, drinking, superficially thinking
About the rinsed-out blonde on my left
And then I said, "Hi", like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said
She was common, flirty, she looked about 30
I would have run away, but I was on my own
She told me later, she's a machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said my, my, like the spider to the fly
Jump right ahead in my web
