whizz kid

Singer:mott the hoople

little whizz kid mystified me

she was a new york city beat

she came on flash - monster mash

motors in her feet

now we moved out of manhattan to her home on the brooklyn heights

her dad's a street punk and her mum's a drunk

but we made out alright

far far from home

oh i felt so alone

could not spin to the speed of the city

oh send me my ticket

i'm too scared to stick

with my little whizz kid - such a pity

now she really tried her hardest just to make me leave the band

she even hired a toy rent-a-boy" straight from a times square stand
