Don't Tempt Me Lyrics - Richard Thompson

That gorilla you're dancing with 

May not have too long to live 

He's putting his hands in the wrong places 

It's time to rearrange his face 

He's gonna dance with me instead 

And I'm gonna tap dance on his head 

Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me 

I'm half way out of my seat 

He's got the looks, he's got the lolly 

Driving me clean off my trolley 

Doing the jitterbug, doing the jive 

Doing the shimmy, snakes alive 

That's not a dance, that's S E X 

Ban that couple, certificate X

Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me 

I'm half way out of my seat 

Oh, I'm a patient man, but it's out of hand 

If there's one thing that I can't stand 

Get your mittens off my gal 

Or you'll end up as mincemeat, pal 

I've got friends, mean sons 

They've got knives, chains, guns 

Gas grenades, knuckle-dusters 

Lazy Susans, blockbusters 

Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me 

I'm half way out of my seat, oh 

Photos 

I'm sitting here calm as I can 

While you polish the floor with another man 

I'm not mad, I'm a cuddly toy 

Just keep me away from a laughing boy 

You say he's a relative, some hope 

If he's your uncle, I'm the Pope 

Don't tempt me, don't tempt me, don't tempt me 

I'm half way out of my seat, oh
