Street Hassle
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.
Waltzing Matilda, looked at her wallet,
The sexy one smiled in dismay.
She pulled out four twenties,
'Cause she liked round figures,
Everybody stayed for a day.
I think I'm on fire and you know I admire you,
Buy it, why don't we slip away?
Although I'm sure you're certain,
It's a rarity me flirting,
Sha la la la lay, come on.
Sha la la la la,
Sha la la la la,
Sha la la la la,
Come on and slip away,
Sha la la.
Cascading lowly he entered her slowly,
And showed her where he coming from.
And sha la la la la, made love to her gently,
Just like she had never come.
And sha la la la la. Sha la la la,
When the sun rose and she made to leave.
And sha la la la la. Sha la la la you know,
Neither one regretted a thing.
Sha la la la la,
Sha la la la la,
Sha la la la la,
Come on and slip away.
Say sha la la la la,
Sha la la la la,
Sha la la la la.
We need your loving so badly,
We need your loving so.
Slip away, come on, slip away,
Sha la la la la,
Sha la la la la.
Love has gone away,
She took the ring from my finger,
And there's nothing left to say.
We need your loving so badly,
We need your loving so,
Come on, slip away.
