Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sittin', thinkin', sinkin', drinkin'
Wonderin' what I'd do when I'm through tonight
Smokin', mopin', maybe just hopin'?
Some little girl will pass on by
Don't wanna be alone but I love my girl at home
I remember what she said
[Verse 2]
She said, "My, my, my, don't tell lies
Keep fidelity in your head
My, my, my, don't tell lies
When you've done the show, go to bed
Don't say hi, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead and you're dead"
[Verse 3]
Sit up, fed up, low down go 'round
Down to the bar at the place I'm at
Sittin', drinkin', superficially thinkin'
About the rinsed-out blonde on my left
Then I said, "Hi", like a spider to a fly
Rememberin' what my little girl said
[Verse 4]
She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
I would have run away, but I was on my own
She told me later she's a machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said, "My, my," like the spider to the fly
Jump right ahead in my web
