LADIES OF THE ROAD
(Fripp, Sinfield)
A flower lady’s daughter
As sweet as holy water
Said: “I’m the school reporter
Please teach me,“ well I taught her.
Two fingered levi’d sister
Said, “Peace,“ I stopped I kissed her.
Said, “I’m a male resister,“
I smiled and just unzipped her.
High diving chinese trender
Black hair and black suspender,
Said, “Please me no surrender
Just love to feel your fender.“
All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.
Stone-headed Frisco spacer
Ate all the meat I gave her
Said would I like to taste hers
And even craved the flavour.
“Like marron-glaced fish bones
Oh lady hit the road.“
All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.
