Dont Tempt Me Tab

by Richard Thompson




Don't Tempt Me, Richard Thompson

     

That 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

 
      Don't tempt me
 
      Don't tempt me
 
      Don't tempt me

I'm half-way out of my seat


He'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!

 
      Don't tempt me
 
      Don't tempt me
 
      Don't tempt me

I'm half-way out of my seat

             
Ooh I'm a patient man
              
Ooh But its out of hand
             
If there's one thing I can't stand


Get 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

I'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!
