Street Hassle

Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet

Sexy boys smiled in dismay

She took out four twenties 'cause she liked round figures

Everybody's queen for a day

Oh, babe, I'm on fire, and you know that I admire your body

Why don't we slip away?

Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin'

Sha-la-la-la this way, hey

Oh, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la, hey, baby

Come on, let's slip away

Luscious and gorgeous, oh, what humping muscle

Call out the National Guard

She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her knees

From off of the Formica topped bar

And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly and boldly

Out of this world

And despite people's derision proved to be more than diversion

And sha-la-la-la-la later on

And then sha-la-la-la-la

He entered her slowly and showed her where he was coming from

And then sha-la-la-la-la, he made love to her gently

It was like she'd never ever come

And then sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

When the sun rose and he made to leave

You know, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

Neither one regretted a thing

Slip away

Hey, that cunt's not breathing

I think she's had too much of something or other

Hey, man, you know what I mean?

I don't mean to scare you

But you're the one who came here

And you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave

I'm not being smart, or trying to be cold on my part

And I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve

But you know, people get all emotional

And sometimes, man, they just don't act rationally, oh

They think they're just on TV

Sha-la-la-la-la, man

Why don't you just slip her away?

You know, I'm glad that we met, man

It was really nice talking

And I really wish that there was a little more time to speak

But you know it could be a hassle

Trying to explain myself to a police officer

About how it was your old lady who got herself stiffed

And it's not like we could help

But there was nothing no one could do

And if there was, man, you know I would have been the first

But when someone turns that blue, well, it's a universal truth

Then you just know that bitch will never fuck again

By the way, that's really some bad shit

That you came to our place with

But you ought to be more careful around the little girls

It's either the best or it's the worst

And since I don't have to choose, I guess I won't

And I know this ain't no way to treat a guest

But why don't you grab your old lady by the feet

And just lay her out in the darkest street

And by morning, she's just another hit-and-run

You know, some people got no choice

And they can never find a voice

To talk with that they can even call their own

So the first thing that they see that allows them the right to be

Why, they follow it, you know, it's called bad luck

Well hey, man, that's just a lie

It's what she tells her friends

'Cause a real song, the real song she won't even admit to herself

The beating in her heart

It's a song lots of people know

It's a painful song

With a load of sad truth

But life's full of sad songs

Penny for a wish

But wishin' won't make you so, Joe

But a pretty kiss or a pretty face can't have its way

Joe, tramps like us, we were born to pay

Love has gone away

And there's no one here now

And there's nothing left to say

But oh, how I miss him, baby

Oh, baby, come on and slip away

Come on, baby

Why don't you slip away?

Love has gone away

Took the rings off my fingers

And there's nothing left to say

But oh, how, oh, how I need it, baby

Come on, baby, I need you, baby

Oh, please don't slip away

I need your loving so bad, babe

Please don't slip away
