Street Hassle

Waltzing matilda, looked at her wallet

The sexy one smiled in dismay

She pulled out four twenties

'cause she liked round figures

Everybody stayed for a day

I think i'm on fire and you know i admire you

Buy it, why don't we slip away

Although i'm sure you're certain

It's a rarity me flirting

Sha la la la lay, come on



Sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la

Come on and slip away, sha la la



Cascading lowly he entered her slowly

And showed her where he coming from

And sha la la la la. made love to her gently

Just like she had never come

And sha la la la la. sha la la la

When the sun rose and she made to leave

And sha la la la la. sha la la la you know

Neither one regretted a thing



Say sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la

Come on and slip away

Say sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la



We need your loving so badly

We need your loving so

Slip away, come on, slip away

Sha la la la la, sha la la la la



Love has gone away

She took the ring from my finger

And there's nothing left to say

We need your loving so badly

We need your loving so

Come on, slip away
