Patty don't ya' tell me one thing and change your mind
We might be in bed together but the deal's not signed
They say you collect shrunken heads, would you like to have mine?
Oh, Patty don't ya' put me down
Patty don't ya' put me down
Oh, Patty don't ya' put me down
Don't color me cruel
Don't color me cruel
You're so used to skimmin' the ace and palmin' the jack
The right hand givin' and the left hand takin' it back
At society functions they probably give you more slack
(Chorus)
You can stamp all you want, but this ain't television
I can't fix it all with a small incision
It's a meltdown you're havin', not nuclear fission
There's no room service at the seaman's mission
In your ten watt world it's beyond any pleasure ya' know
To stick your fingers in the socket, and give yourself a glow
Keep that up and they might make you part of the show
(Chorus)
