Pretty Baby (The Crash)
words & music Lewis Furey
they're jumping from the windows
as they tumble down
they're trying to make friends
before they hit the ground
lulu's in his cabaret
bidding welcome to the crash
have another on the house
he's already rather smashed
pretty baby
what do you think I am
come on and muscle with me
you are such a pretty lamb
pretty baby
haven't you got the spirit
of a whore
you're fresh and I know
we do it just once
and you'll be back for more
the girl in silks and satins
wants it from a hunk
the boy in flannels and a blazer
wants to be a punk
in the shadow of the crash
all seems to say
"listen everything's for free
but wouldn't it be fun to pay"
pretty baby
what do you think I am
come on and muscle with me
you are such a pretty lamb
pretty baby
haven't you got the spirit
of a whore
you're fresh and I know
we do it just once
and you'll be back for more
you don't see pegasus
he's off to simpler things
he's gone to see a doctor
who claims he can remove his wings
the experts sit in new york city
they're waiting anxiously
don't knaw at your fingernails honeys
i'll take you dancing with me
pretty baby
what do you think I am
come on and muscle with me
you are such a pretty lamb
pretty baby
haven't you got the spirit
of a whore
you're fresh and I know
we do it just once
and you'll be back for more
