This song is originally from King Crimson’s 1973 album “Larks' Tongues in Aspic”. The second set of lyrics in the first verse are different from the original album, and these were how the lyrics were sung live during performances from this era and lineup of the band.
[Intro]
Doo da de dow dow, da di de dow, d-dow, doo doo doo
Doo da de dow dow, da di de dow, d-dow, doo doo doo
Doo da de dow dow, da di de dow, d-dow, doo doo doo
Doo da de dow dow, da di de dow, d-dow, doo doo doo
[Verse 1]
Your admirers in the street
Got to hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers
Well, I argued with the judge
But the bastard wouldn't budge
'cause they caught me lickin' fudge
And they never told me once
You were a minor
[Refrain]
Easy money
[Verse 2]
With your figure and your face
Strutting out at every race
Throw a glass around the place
Show the colour of your crimson suspenders
We could take the money home
Sit around the family throne
My old dog could chew his bone
For two weeks we could appease the Almighty
[Refrain]
Easy money
[Bridge]
...d-dow, doo doo doo
Doo da de dow dow, da di de dow, d-dow, doo doo doo
Doo da de dow dow, da di de dow, d-dow, doo doo doo
Doo da de dow dow, da di de dow, d-dow, doo doo doo!
[Verse 3]
Your admirers in the street
Got to hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers
Got no truck with the la-di-da
Keep my bread in an old fruit jar
Drive you out in a motor-car
Getting fat on your lucky star
[Refrain]
Just making easy money
(laughter)
