Rough and Ready

Rough and ready

The boys came round the other night
Talking tough, looking for a fight
I talked slow, my eyes were steady
They didn't know
You don't have to be rough to be ready

The girls came round with lovely thighs
Painted lips and painted eyes
My thoughts were blue, their perfume heady
Ah, yes, they knew
You don't have to be rough to be ready

All the guys are telling lies
Thеy're lighting up the fuse
All thе girls can change the world
The papers spread the news

Late at night you're all alone
No one calls on the telephone
You need a friend, you cuddle teddy
Until the end
You don't have to be rough to be ready

All the guys are telling lies
They're lighting up the fuse
All the girls can change the world
The papers spread the news
