Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet?
When in this charming car
This charming man
Why pamper life’s complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat?

I would go out tonight
But I haven’t got a stitch to wear
This man said: it’s gruesome
That someone so handsome should care

Ah! A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said, return the ring
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

And I would go out tonight
But I haven’t got a stitch to wear
This man said: it’s gruesome
That someone so handsome should care
