THE FRATELLIS
"Ole Black 'N' Blue Eyes"

Well she wants to be a singer in the band
Maybe I'll give the girl a hand and a microphone
Looks like she's all alone
She can bring a friend, though she's not my kind of friend
She keeps staring me out with her ol' black 'n' blue eyes

And I can take her dancing just to give the girl a chance
And I was never that good at being nice when I should
I guess that she'll forgive me, right before she tries to kill me
'Cause I sold her on yesterday's come-take-me-home eyes

I can take her waltzing just so she could kick my head in
Oh, I do believe I was drunk and both of my heads had shrunk
I guess her name was Tina 'cause before I'd even seen her
I was lost in her "what's-your-name
Just get me fucked" eyes
"Oh take me home" eyes

[Chorus:]
And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does, she's getting there slow
And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be
And that's the very thing when you're dealing with me

[Bridge:]
Young soul Dagger, beggin' me to bag her, filthy heart and swollen hips
And she said "oh my dearest I'm not pretty, isn't it a pity
That you won't kiss these rotten lips?"
So take me home eyes
Ole black 'n' blue eyes

[Chorus:]
And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does, she's getting there slow
And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be
And that's the very thing when you're dealing with me

[Outro:]
Do do do do do do do do do...
