Darlington Darling
Written and Recorded by Moxy Fruvous
>From the album Bargainville (WEA CD-93134)
Intro notes:
(Strumming primarily on off beats)
(Verse)
Down the line, comin' down the line, a V6 Merc in blue
Without the sparks or dist cap I slap them on as it rides through
8 to 4 on the essembly floor, watchin' V6 Merc's slide through
I can drive, and she can drive, but this car's made for you
(Chorus)
I'd like to buy her one (Where ya gonna get the money son)
I'd like to buy her two (But you'll never find the right bijou)
I'd like to buy her three (But you're working in a factory)
And I'd like to buy her more than this blue collar can afford
(Intro notes)
(Verse)
Down the line, chipper down the line's got a cottage up on Scugog
Last Xmas bash he spent all his cash plyin' Mr.Bewdly with eggnog
He got the raise and from what he said he'll have that love nest
paid off soon
I got the keys, but my girl friends she's not gettin' off till
Sunday noon
(Chorus)
(Accordian Solo)
(Verse)
In Darlington lies my daring one she fills my thoughts each day
Half a mile from the cooling towers, I sure hope that she's okay
(Chorus)
I'd like to buy her one (Where ya gonna get the money son)
I'd like to buy her two (But you'll never find the right bijou)
I'd like to buy her three (But you're working in a factory)
And I'd like to buy her more than this blue collar can afford
