Lyrics
Sing me a new song
I don?t mean a blue song
It?s gotta be snappy and bright.
Sing me a new song
But don?t make it last too long,
Me and you got plans tonight.
If you sing for your supper,
I?ll serve your dessert just right.
Sing me a new song
Belt it out too strong
Don?t care what the neighbors may think.
Sing me a new song
Truth is, it?s been too long
Since a spanking--new tune tickled me pink.
If your throat gets dry
I?ve got something tasty to drink.
Long and hard, I?ve been searching for a ringer.
Someone to nail the tune right from the start.
Come whisper softly in my ear
Your melody will linger.
What?s that you say?
You?re not a singer?
Then take just one finger and
Play!
Play me a song with a bite.
Play!
I might just sing along
If you stroke my keys just right.
You?re gonna need both hands
When you play my squeezebox tonight.
(If you want to) play until the morning light, I?ll let you.
I don?t care if people listen in.
Your siren song bewitches me
I never will forget you.
But your tune will soon grow old.
When our pleasures are fewer
I?ll need someone newer to
Sing me a new song
Don?t say I did you wrong
Love is a game.
Someone, sing me a new song!
You might come on too strong
But there?s no tiger I can?t tame.
You might start out humming, but
Soon you?ll be screamin? my name.
I said, you might well start out hummin?,
But when I get my hands on your guitar and start strummin?,
It?s only a matter of time, before you are c? c? c?
. . .Callin?
And shoutin?, and cryin? and moanin? and sighin?
And screamin? my name.
