Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, leave me alone you know (Hey man)
Well Henry, get off the phone, I gotta (Hey man)
I gotta straighten my face (Hey man)
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
[Verse 2]
My schooldays insane (Hey man)
My work's down the drain (Hey man)
Well, she's a total blam-blam (Hey man)
She said she had to squeeze it, but she and then she
[Chorus]
Ah, don't lean on me, man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
Back on Suffragette City
Oh, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight
She's all right
Mmm
[Verse 3]
Ah Henry, don't be unkind, go away (Hey man)
I can't take you this time, no way (Hey man)
D-droogie don't crash here (Hey man)
There's only room for one and here she comes, here she comes
[Chorus]
Ah, don't lean on me, man, cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight
She's all right
Oh, hit me!
[Chorus]
Ah, don't lean on me, man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Ah, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
[Chorus]
Don't lean on me, man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
And don't lean on me man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight
Wah, she's all right
[Outro]
A Suffragette City
A Suffragette City
I'm back on Suffragette City
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh, a Suffragette City
Oh, a Suffragette City
Ooh-ha, a Suffragette City
Ooh-ha, a Suffragette
Ah, wham, bam, thank you, ma'am!
A Suffragette City
A Suffragette City
Quite all right
A Suffragette City
Too fine
A Suffragette City
Oh, my Suffragette City
Oh, my Suffragette City
Oh, my Suffragette City
Ah, Suffragette
Suffragette
