lyrics

Well, I was looking for an alibi
In the sheltering warmth of your thigh
But you shrugged me off with such a casual sigh
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

So with a well-feigned lisp
I imperceptibly whispered
Show me your secret supply
But you saw through the mask
And with one swig of your flask
You drank up the mackerel sky.
So I went underground
District line, west-bound
And waited til winter had passed
I re-emerged like a trend
To tie up some loose ends
With my Cuban-heeled friends and then laughed
At the music they played
To dispel the charade
The maestro had made for your sake
Well, I could never handle Händel
So I threw my worn out sandals
At the trumpets and at the triangles.

Well, I was looking for something new
At the imperious heels of your boots
But you tipped me off
With such and elegant clue
Adieu, adieu, adieu.

Well, I was looking for an alibi
In the sweltering heat of your thigh
But you shrugged me of with such a casual sigh
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
That's what you told me
Gooodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
