Lyrics

In a little road cafe
Worked a girl named Frilly Fay
The motorcycle man he came in clicking his heels
The man and his wheels
He knew how it feels
He said, "Baby, take a look outside
Big machine take you for a ride"
Fay said, "It's not how it looks
This is a summer job
I come high off the hive
I make some man a good cook"
The man he never heard such tales
He mumbled and stumbled and chewed up his nails
All alone in a run-down restaurant when business was slow
But he didn't know Fay was aching to go
They sat and stared side by side
He ate out his heart and she choked on her pride
In the door came Rosie Jones with nothing to lose
Wings on her shoes
And a body made for you
The man he made his pitch
And out they went without a hitch
With a friendly wink to Fay they roared away
And in the smoke cafe no one heard Fay say
Sing your song
Motorcycle man
I'll be along as soon as I can
The moral of this nursery rhyme
You come off yours and I'll come off of mine
Don't you end like Frilly Fay
Full of such tales
Biting her nails
And tossing life away
Sing your song
Motorcycle man
I'll be along as soon as I can
Sing your song
Motorcycle man
Sing your song
You know I'll be along as soon as I can
Sing your song
Motorcycle man
Sing your song
You know I'll be along as soon as I can
