Lyrics

The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch

[Verse 1]

My, my, my! We're treating each other just like strangers

I can't ignore the significance of these changes

[Chorus]

But you, can't treat it lightly

And you'll, have to face the consequences

All my worst fears are grounded

You have to make the choice between the Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch and me

No, no, no, no

[Verse 2]

By this time I got to looking for a kind of substitute

I can't tell you who I found, except that it rhymes with dissolute

[Chorus]

But my, baby's so lazy

She is, almost unable

And it's, driving me crazy

And her loving's just a fable that we sometimes try with passion to recall

Woah, no, no, no

[Synth Solo]

[Outro]

Send for an ambulance or an

Accident investigator

He's breathing like a furnace

So I'll, see you later, alligator

He'll set the sheets on fire

Mmm, quite a burning proper

Now he'll, barbeque your kitten

He is, just another learner lover

You have to make the choice between the Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch and me

[Outro]
