Rhoda

Young girl, she's a simple person
Not as young as she looks
But whoever is in this day and age
In this day and age, yeah
She gives me goosebumps, fits and malaria
Funny feeling like buying whisky in a whisky bar
The things she says
Yeah the the things she says
And on her arm there's freckles and scars
Do you know what they are?
Do you know where they came from?
Wondering, 'cause she wouldn't tell me
No she wouldn't tell me, no
She likes to sing a lot, she likes to play a lot
But it hurts her so she gave it up for medicinal drugs
Now she's really happy
Now she's really happy, yeah
And she is happy with a fag in her lips
And a faggot friend
And a fag in the morning with her Special K
A ray of sunshine
A ray of sunshine, yeah
Well I'm in love with a certain boy
He's a simple person
Not as young as he looks
But whoever is in this day and age
In this day and age, yeah
He gives me goosebumps, fits and malaria
Funny feeling like buying whisky in a whisky bar
The things he says
Yeah the things he says
And on his arms there's freckles and scars
Do you know what they are?
Do you know where they came from?
Wondering, 'cause he wouldn't tell me
No he wouldn't tell me, no
He likes to play a lot, he likes to sing a lot
But it hurts him so he gave it up for medicinal drugs
Now he's really happy
Now he's really happy, yeah
And he is happy with a fag in his lips
And a faggot friend
And a fag in the morning with his Special K
A ray of sunshine
A ray of sunshine, yeah
Yeah he fell to Earth in a rainstorm
I don't care wherever he came from
'Cause the boy's all right by me
Yeah she fell to Earth in a rainstorm
I don't care wherever she came from
'Cause the girl's all right by me, yeah
Well I'm in love with a certain boy
Well I'm in love with a certain girl
