I sat up here in my window

Lookin down on the street

Strychnine poison woman

Man don't you look so sweet

I said come on up and see me sometime

I'm just a drunken sailor but I'm feeling so fine

I've been out sailin on the seven seas

Baby won't ya give it to me

Fred Smith - Paris 1972 Baby won't ya drive me mad

Baby don't ya let me feel bad

Baby don't ya leave me alone

Baby won't ya carry me home

Baby won't ya jump and shout

You know what i'm talking about

Baby won't ya drive me wild

Baby let me see you smile

I see all the sickly, salty swingers

Standing on the barroom floor

Sliding and gliding as she pass by my window

She was a female mercenary coming home from war

The ultimate inflection of the word perfection

I thought I'd drop by and say hi

Sweet little senorita she showed me her gun

Baby let's go get high

Baby won't ya drive me wild

Baby let me see you smile

Baby won't ya please come here

Baby don't have no fear

Baby won't ya scratch my back

Baby don't ya leave me mad

Baby won't ya drive me mad

Baby don't ya let me be mad

I sat down to the matters at hand

Trying to find a way to beat the heat

Outside my window was a bunch of tipsy gypsies

Dancin' up and down the street

The lovely senorita took me by the hand

She said, "Oh, baby won't you be my man"

I'll be yours and you'll be mine

Baby let's have a good time.

Baby won't ya drive me mad

Baby don't ya let me feel bad

Baby don't ya leave me alone

Baby won't ya carry me home

Baby won't ya jump and shout

You know what i'm talking about

Baby won't ya drive me wild

Baby let me see you smile

Baby won't you please come here

Baby don't have no fear

Baby let me hold your hand

Baby let me be your man

Baby won't you scratch my back

Baby don't you leave me mad

Baby won't you please be true

Baby let me do it with you

Baby won't you drive me mad

Baby won't you let me be bad

Baby don't you leave me alone

Baby won't you carry me home

Baby won't you scream and shout

You know what i'm talking about

Baby won't you drive me wild

Baby let me see you smile
