Don't Tempt Me, Richard Thompson
A5 B5 A5 B5 A5 B5
B5That gorilla you're dancing with
May not have too long to live
He's putting his hands in the wrong places
Time to rearrange his face
He's gonna dance with me instead
I'm gonna tap dance on his head
A5   B5Don't tempt me
A5   B5Don't tempt me
A5   B5Don't tempt me
E5I'm half-way out of my seat
B5He's got the looks, he's got the lolly
Driving me clean off my trolley
Doing the jitterbug, doing the jive
Doing the shimmy, snakes alive
That's not a dance, that's S-E-X
Ban that couple, certificate X!
A5   B5Don't tempt me
A5   B5Don't tempt me
A5   B5Don't tempt me
E5I'm half-way out of my seat
F#5Ooh I'm a A5patient G#5man
F#5Ooh But its A5out of G#5hand
F#5If there's A5one G#5thing C#5I can't stand
B5Get yer mittens off my gal
Or you'll end up as mincemeat pal
I've got friends, mean sons
They've got knives, chains, guns
Gas, grenades, knuckle-dusters,
Lazy Susans, Blockbusters
Guitar Solo
B5 B5 D5 D5 G5 G5 E5 E5 B5 B5 B5 B5
A5 B5 A5 B5 A5 B5
B5I'm sitting here, calm as I can
While you polish the floor with another man
I'm not mad, I'm a cuddly toy
Just keep me away from laughing boy
You say he's a relative, some hope
If he's your uncle, I'm the Pope!
