Sit up, fed up, low down, go round
Down to the bar at the place I'm at
Sitting, drinking,  superficially thinking
about the rinsed out blonde on my left
and then I said Hi,like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said

(harmonica solo)

she was common, flirty,
she looked about fifty
I would have run away but I was on my own
She told me later, she was a machine operator
she said she liked the way I held the microphone
she said, My, my, my, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead in my web!

(guitar solo and end)
