Sittin' thinkin' sinkin' drinkin'

Wondering what I'd do when I'm through tonight

Smoking moping, maybe just hopin'

Some little girl will pass on by

I don't wanna be alone but I love my girl at home

I remember what she said

She said, "My, my, my don't tell lies, keep fidelity in your head

My, my, my, don't tell lies. When you're done you sure hit the bed.

And don't say hi, like a spider to a fly

Jump right ahead and you're dead"

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

Then I said, "hi" like a spider to a fly

Remembering what my little girl said

Break

She was hifty, thrifty, she looked about fifty

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

And I said my, like the spider to the fly

Jump right ahead in my web

Break
