Lyrics

(New Wave) Polly

[Verse 1] Polly wants a cracker I think I should get off her first Maybe she wants some water To put out the blow torch [Chorus] Isn't me, have a seed Let me clip, dirty wings Let me take a ride, hurt yourself Want some help, please myself Got some rope, have been told Promise you, have been true Let me take a ride, hurt yourself Want some help, please myself [Verse 2] Polly wants a cracker Maybe she would like more food Asked me to untie her A chase would be nice for a few [Chorus] Isn't me, have a seed Let me clip, dirty wings Let me take a ride, hurt yourself Want some help, please myself Got some rope, have been told Promise you, have been true Let me take a ride, hurt yourself Want some help, please myself [Verse 3] Polly said Polly says her back hurts She's just as bored as me She caught me off my guard Amazes me the will of instinct [Chorus] Isn't me, have a seed Let me clip, dirty wings Let me take a ride, hurt yourself Want some help, please myself Got some rope, have been told Promise you, have been true Let me take a ride, hurt yourself Want some help, please myself
