reel around the fountain

Singer:smiths, the

it's time the tale were told

of how you took a child

and you made him old

it's time the tale were told

of how you took a child

and you made him old

you made him old

reel around the fountain

slap me on the patio

i'll take it now

fifteen minutes with you

well

i wouldn't say no

oh people said

that you were virtually dead

and they were so wrong!

fifteen minutes with you

i wouldn't say no

oh people said

that you were easily led

and they were half-right

it's time the tale were told

of how you took a child

and you made him old

it's time the tale were told

of how you took a child

and you made him old

you made him old

reel around the fountain

slap me on the patio

i'll take it now

fifteen minutes with you

i wouldn't say no

oh people see no worth in you

oh but i do

fifteen minutes with you

oh i wouldn't say no

oh people see no worth in you

but i do

i dreamt about you last night

and i fell out of bed twice

you can pin and mount me

like a butterfly

but take me to the haven of your bed

was something that you never said

two lumps

please

you're the bee's knees

but so am i

meet me at the fountain

shove me on the patio

i'll take it slowly

fifteen minutes with you

oh i wouldn't say no

people see no worth in you

oh but i do
