Hey, Lady Godiva Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(Shel Silverstein) 

Hey Lady Godiva, ridin' throughout town 

Naked on your big white horse 

With your long hair hangin' down 

Lady Godiva, you say you're frightened 

and so shy 

I hate to bust your bubble but you 

Sure picked a funny place to hide 

Hey Lady Godiva, lookin' for a place 

Where no one wants your body 

And nobody knows your face 

Lady Godiva, you say you wanna be loved 

For what's inside 

I don't know much about horses but you 

Sure picked a funny place to ride 

Every man's just a clutchin' hand 

Reachin' out to grab you 

Every man's a quiverin' lance 

Tryin' hard to stab you - don' let 'em nab you 

Hey Lady Godiva, lookin' kind of scared 

You showed 'em all your talents 

And nobody seems to care 

Lady Godiva, could it be no-one wants to ride 

Come to think it over 

You may have picked the perfect place to hide
