He says excuse me, I hope you don't mind that
I followed you into this shop
but I couldn't help but notice oh my god that riding crop
Sticking out of your - Your haversack,
Well uh, I wouldn't mind riding you bareback.
Verse
He's subtle on the dancefloor and he's suave around the bar
He's a quickdraw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star.
You know he was quite a singer, quite an actor,
quite some time ago.
He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime tv show.

Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Verse
Em B7 Em B7
Well he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn
Just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone
From the house next door to his house on the lane,
He consoles himself that he's got his health and he knows he can't complain.
