bitten by the tailfly

you're a girl in this vicinity

i'm a dog without a collar on

this cattle-market cabaret

is the sabbath every saturday

i'm full of wit and chivalry

until you've given in to me

i'm a dog without a collar on

you're a girl in this vicinity

bitten by the tail-fly

too many times to change

it's a silent taxi ride away

but it's everything to get you there

you'll know when you are bitten-shy

but still you will return my stare

from a crush of blushing brides-to-be

you barely have a blossom on

your eyes betray your diaries

you're a girl in this vicinity

bitten by the tail-fly

too many times to change

i'll take you home

get you on your own
