Don't Tempt Me

Lyrics

That gorilla you're dancing with
 May not have too long to live
 He's putting his hands in the wrong places
 It's time to rearrange his face
 He's gonna dance with me instead
 And I'm gonna tap dance on his head
 Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me
 I'm half way out of my seat
 He's got the looks, he's got the lolly
 Driving me clean off my trolley
 Doing the jitterbug, doing the jive
 Doing the shimmy, snakes alive
 That's not a dance, that's S E X
 Ban that couple, certificate X
 Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me
 I'm half way out of my seat
 Oh, I'm a patient man, but it's out of hand
 If there's one thing that I can't stand
 Get your mittens off my gal
 Or you'll end up as mincemeat, pal
 I've got friends, mean sons
 They've got knives, chains, guns
 Gas grenades, knuckle-dusters
 Lazy Susans, blockbusters
 Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me
 I'm half way out of my seat, oh
 I'm sitting here calm as I can
 While you polish the floor with another man
 I'm not mad, I'm a cuddly toy
 Just keep me away from a laughing boy
 You say he's a relative, some hope
 If he's your uncle, I'm the Pope
 Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me
 I'm half way out of my seat, oh
