Standard (EADGBE)

Listen girl I might

 If you ask me very nice

I just might tell you the truth

 Because you give me love and I like it

 And charming as you might be

Listen girl you like it to

 All of the corner kids

 They're looking for joy

Dreaming of playgrounds and toys

 Well they're dreaming no more

 'Cause they've been there before

 And now they just sit and absorb

 Like when I couldn't get out of bed

 Oh I could hardly walk

 But I come here to muse

 I come here to talk

To say listen girl ...

 And the fluids

 That hold me in my mind

 A candle in the way

 To falling back in time

 And beer

 The wilful little tout

 That brightens up my nights

 But hoodoo when I'm awake
