[Chorus 1]
E
Sittin,thinkin, sinkin, drinkin
E
Wondering what I'd do when I'm thru tonight
A
Smoking, moping maybe just hopin
E
Some little girl will pass on by
B7 A7
I don't wanna be alone but I love my girl at home
E E7
I remember what she said
B7 E
She said My, my, my don't tell lies!
E
Keep fidelity in your head!
A
My, my, my, Don't tell lies
E
When you've done your show hit the bed
B7 A
()
Don't say Hi,like a spider to a fly
E F#m/E E B7 E7
Jump right ahead and your dead!
[Chorus 2]
Sit up, fed up, low down, go round
Down to the bar at the place I'm at
Sitting, drinking, superficially thinking
about the rinsed out blonde on my left
and then I said Hi,like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said
[Chorus 3]
she was common, flirty,
she looked about thirty
I would have run away but I was on my own
She told me later, she was a machine operator
she said she liked the way I held the microphone
she said, My, my, my, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead in my web!
