12/8 time seemed to her to be some sort of
|
Life of crime
|
With the handcuffs and the billy clubs
|
Coming down on me
|
She said rock 'n roll don't give her nothing
|
But bad dreams
|
So she planned my funeral and left me for dead
|
A single corpse in a double bed
|
But now she's standing on my front porch
|
She goes knock knock knock knock
|
Knock knock knock knock
|
She come a-knockin' at my door
|
Now she come a-knockin' at my door
|
And now her key it don't fit
|
And I'm not gonna let her in
|
Now she come a-knockin' at my door
|
Now she come a-knockin' at my door
|
Now her key it don't fit
|
I'm not gonna let her in
|
Well, would you lookee here
|
She's got a perfume bottle and her fancy clothes
|
And a ribbon in her hair
|
Well she ain't bad-lookin', and I'll give her that
|
But she ain't all there
|
And her body ain't as sexy as her underwear
|
Her stomach ain't big enough I suppose
|
To eat up all the mean words that she spoke
|
She gonna try to ring quiet but the doorbell's broke
|
She gonna hafta knock knock knock, I said
|
You're gonna knock knock knock
|
She come a-knockin' at my door
|
Now she come a-knockin' at my door
|
And now her key it don't fit
|
And I'm not gonna let her in
|
She come a-knockin' at my door
|
Now she come a-knockin' at my door
|
And now her key it don't fit
|
And I'm not gonna let her in
|
She come a knock-knock, let me in
|
She come a knock-knock, let me in
|
She come a knock-knock, let me in
|
I said no,
|
She come a knock-knock, let me in
|
She come a knock-knock, let me in
|
She come a knock-knock, please please
|
No no no no no
|
Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin
|
Would i ever consider to begin to let you in
