MASON JENNINGS lyrics : "12/8 Time"

12/8 time seemed to her to be some sort of
Life of crime
With the handcuffs and the billy clubs

Coming down on me
She said rock 'n roll don't give her nothing
But bad dreams

So she planned my funeral and left me for dead
A single corpse in a double bed
But now she's standing on my front porch

She goes knock knock knock knock
Knock knock knock knock
She come a-knockin' at my door

Now she come a-knockin' at my door
And now her key it don't fit
And I'm not gonna let her in

Now she come a-knockin' at my door
Now she come a-knockin' at my door
Now her key it don't fit

I'm not gonna let her in
Well, would you lookee here
She's got a perfume bottle and her fancy clothes

And a ribbon in her hair
Well she ain't bad-lookin', and I'll give her that
But she ain't all there

And her body ain't as sexy as her underwear
Her stomach ain't big enough I suppose
To eat up all the mean words that she spoke

She gonna try to ring quiet but the doorbell's broke
She gonna hafta knock knock knock, I said
You're gonna knock knock knock

She come a-knockin' at my door
Now she come a-knockin' at my door
And now her key it don't fit

And I'm not gonna let her in
She come a-knockin' at my door
Now she come a-knockin' at my door

And now her key it don't fit
And I'm not gonna let her in
She come a knock-knock, let me in

She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, let me in
I said no,

She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, please please

No no no no no
Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin
Would i ever consider to begin to let you in
