Hey man, oh leave me alone, you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
Hey man, my schooldays insane
Hey man, my work’s down the drain
Ain’t good, well she’s a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she… and then she…
Don’t lean on me man, ’cause you can’t afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don’t lean on me man,
‘Cause you ain’t got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight… ooo, it’s all right
Hey man, oh leave me alone, go away
Hey man, I can’t take much this time, no way
Hey man, hey droogie don’t crash here
There’s only room for one and here she comes, here she comes
Don’t lean on me man, ’cause you can’t afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don’t lean on me man,
‘Cause you ain’t got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight… wow it’s all right
Don’t lean on me man, ’cause you can’t afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don’t lean on me man,
‘Cause you ain’t got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight… ooo, it’s all right
Suffragette City
Suffragette City
Suffragette City
Suffragette City…
Aaaaaah Wham Bam Thank you Ma’am!
Suffragette City
Back in Suffragette City
Way down in Suffragette City
Back in Suffragette City
Doo wah! Suffragette City
Woo Hah! Suffragette City
Way down in Suffragette City
Suffragette City… Suffragette…
