Lyrics
Mayday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A slave's a girl who slaves her days away
In arabesques and minarettes
And tablecloths and serviettes
She's screamin' "This is what you get"
First you put the tongue in
Then you put the boot in
Yeah yeah, oh yeah
First you put the tongue in
Then you put the boot in
Yeah yeah, oh yeah
The mob goes fifteen ways
I dunno which way to go
It all goes fifteen ways in my head
Feels like it's smashing down
George is 24, easily bored
All his life he's seen nothing but closed doors
Not any more...
First you put the tongue in
Then you put the boot in
Yeah yeah, oh yeah
First you put the tongue in
Then you put the boot in
Yeah yeah, oh yeah
The mob goes fifteen ways
I dunno which way to go
It all goes fifteen ways in my head
Feels like it's smashing down
