| Stopped off on a long drive.
|
| Down from the high country.
|
| Spent a long time sitting here,
|
| Long time counting hot miles.
|
| Ohh, oh Id like a cup of black coffee and a piece of sweet cake.
|
| But the girl in the print dress doesnt want my money--
|
| She wont take it: she says--
|
| Oh she says.
|
| Oh she says I just know youre a leo,
|
| I can tell youve got a lions heart.
|
| She went on in this way for a while,
|
| Like some 60s sister playing a part.
|
| Ohh this cup of black coffee gonna do me just fine.
|
| Through the dust in the mirror tiles I can see that door,
|
| Keep it close behind.
|
| Oh she says.
|
| She says, come on over to my house,
|
| Make a journey here sometime.
|
| You know theres a party going on,
|
| A ladder in my stocking you can climb,
|
| Theres a ladder you can climb.
|
| Oh she looked so liberated.
|
| She was looking fit to start.
|
| She got this back to front and sideways,
|
| Wore her sleeve upon her heart.
|
| Ohhh, oh, just one more coffees bout all I can take.

|
| Make a journey here sometime.
|
