The Spider And The Fly Lyrics

The Spider And The Fly lyrics

Sittin' thinkin' sinkin' drinkin'
Wond'ring what I'd do when I'm thru
tonight
Smoking, moping, 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 should 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 at the bar at
the place I'm at
Sitting, drinking, superfic'ly thinking
About the rinsed
out blonde on my left
Then I said "Hi" like a spider to a
fly
Remembering what my little girl said

She was common, flirty, she
looked about thirty
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 a fly
"Jump
right ahead in my web"
