The catchy b-side to the group’s first single, this 1967 tune was originally called “Let’s Roll Another One” and was hastily re-written due to record company pressure
It was recorded in the same January 1967 session as “Arnold Layne”
Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that......
Oooh, don't talk to me
Please, just fuck with me
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
It's true, sun shining very bright
It's you, who I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream, taste good in the afternoon
Ice cream, taste good if you eat it soon
Oooh, don't touch me child
Please, you know you drive me wild
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
Don't try another cat
Don't go where other you must know why
Very, very, very frail
Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that......
