Who's that knocking on my door It's gotta be a quarter to four Is it you again coming 'round for more Well you can love me tonight if you want But in the morning make sure you're gone I'm talkin' to you Hot legs, wearing me out Hot legs, you can scream and shout Hot legs, are you still in school I love you honey
Gotta most persuasive tongue You promise all kinds of fun But what you don't understand I'm a working man Gonna need a shot of vitamin E By the time you're finished with me I'm talking to you Hot legs, you're an alley cat Hot legs, you scratch my back Hot legs, bring your mother too I love you honey
Imagine how my daddy felt in your jet black suspender belt Seventeen years old He's touching sixty four
You got legs right up to your neck You're making me a physical wreck I'm talking to you Hot legs, in your satin shoes Hot legs, are you still in school Hot legs, you're making me a fool I love you honey
Hot legs, making your mark Hot legs, keep my pencil sharp Hot legs, keep your hands to yourself I love you honey Hot legs, you're wearing me out Hot legs, you can scream and shout Hot legs, you're still in school I love you honey
Ever seen a blind man cross the road trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride
So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Baby
Once I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl and you bought everything in style Listen But once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And take a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake them all in a pie
They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya
Now a country boy named Shorty and a city boy named Dan had to prove who could run the fastest to wed Miss Lucy's hand
Now Dan had all the money and he also had the looks But Shorty musta had that something boys that can't be found in books
*"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across" That's what Miss Lucy said "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across You know it's you that I wanna wed"
Wait a minute Now Dan had been in training about a week before the race He made up his mind old Shorty would end in second place You know Dan with his long legs flying he left Shorty far behind Shorty heard him holler out Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine
*Repeat
But Shorty wasn't worried There was a smile upon his face 'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race And just like that old story about the turtle and the hare, you know that thing when Danny crossed over the finish line he found Shorty waiting there
*Repeat
It's you that I wanna wed, no no And oh Lord it's you I wanna wed It's you that I wanna wed
Spent some time feelin' inferior standing in front of my mirror Combed my hair in a thousand ways but I came out looking just the same
Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave But remember one thing don't lose your head to a woman that'll spend your bread" So I got out
Paris was a place you could hide away if you felt you didn't fit in French police wouldn't give me no peace They claimed I was a nasty person Down along the Left Bank minding my own Was knocked down by a human stampede Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot when all I wanted was a cup of tea I was accused I moved on
Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough of the things that keeps a young man alive My body stunk but I kept my funk at a time when I was right out of luck Getting desperate indeed I was Looking like a tourist attraction Oh my dear I better get out of here 'for the Vatican don't give no sanction I wasn't ready for that, no no
I moved right out east yeah! On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry sailing on my way back here I fell in love with a slit eyed lady by the light of an eastern moon Shangai Lil never used the pill She claimed that it just ain't natural She took me up on deck and bit my neck Oh people I was glad I found her Oh yeah I was glad I found her
I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me I sincerely thought I was so complete Look how wrong you can be
The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe They wouldn't give you the time of day But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet God I was glad I found her And if they had the words I could tell to you to help you on the way down the road I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats 'cause it's all been said before Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off You didn't have to come here anyway So remember, every picture tells a story don't it
Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you It's late September and I really should be back at school I know I keep you amused But I fell I'm being used Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home Just to save you from being alone You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The morning sun when it's in your eyes really shows your age But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything I laughed at all of your jokes My love you didn't need to coax Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home Just to save you from being alone You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a helping hand But you turned into a lover and mother, what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed And in the morning kick me in the head Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home 'Cause you didn't want to be alone You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collecd my books and go on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living at playing pool Or find myself a rock and roll band That needs a helping hand Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face You made a first class fool out of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart but I love you anyway I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home, one of these days

You fill my life with laughter And somehow you make it better Ease my troubles That's what you do.
** There's a love That's Divine And it's yours and it's mine Like the sun And at the end of the day We should give thanks and pray To the one, to the one,
* Repeat ** Repeat
And have I told you lately That I love you

Wasted and wounded And it ain't what the moon did I got what I paid for now See you tomorrow Hey Frank can I borrow A couple of bucks from you To go waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley And I'm tired of all these soldiers here No-one speaks English And everything's broken And my strength is soaking away To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Malitda with me
Now the dogs they are barking and the taxi cab's parking A lot they can do for me I begged you to stab me You tore my shirt open And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old bushmills I staggered You buried the dagger Your silhouette window light To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
Now I've lost my St. Christopher Now that I kissed her And the one-arm bandit knows And the maverick Chinaman with the cold-blooded sigh And the girls down by the striptease shows go Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
No I don't want your sympathy Fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now Manslaughter dragnet and the ghost that sells memories Want a piece of the action anyhow Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor And the keys from the jailor And the old men in wheelchairs know That Matilda's the defendant She killed about a hundred And she follows wherever you may go Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And it's a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace And a wound that would never heal No prima donnas the perfume is on and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey And goodnight to the street-sweepers, The night watchmen flame-keepers And goodnight Matilda too Goodnight Matilda too.
I would have given you all of my heart But there's someone who's torn it apart And she's taken just all that I had But if you want I'll try to love again Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest Baby I know the first cut is the deepest But when it come to being lucky she's cursed When it come to loving me she's the worst I still want you by my side Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried And I'm sure going to give you a try And if you want I'll try to love again Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest Baby I know the first cut is the deepest But when it come to being lucky she's cursed When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried But I'm sure gonna give you a try 'cause if you want I'll try to love again Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest Baby I know the first cut is the deepest When it come to being lucky she's cursed When it come to loving me she's the worst
When the rain came I thought you'd leave 'cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm through the darkest nights I've ever known If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing then I know I love ya
Oh the snow fell without a break Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years I couldn't believe you kept a smile Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst And I know I love ya
Oh I never was good with romantic words so the next few lines come really hard Don't have much but what I've got is yours except of course my steel guitar Ha, 'cause I know you don't play but I'll teach you one day because I love ya
I recall the night we knelt and prayed Noticing your face was thin and pale I found it hard to hide my tears I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Couldn't change a thing no, no
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years could never, never change your mind
And I love ya Yes indeed and I love ya And I love ya Lordy I love ya
It was early one morning, I was on my way to school Early one morning, I was on my way to school Got lost on monday morning, I broke my teachers rule
