Pretty Eve In The Tub Lyrics
Pretty Eve in the tub
Please allow me to scrub
Please allow me to rub
Tell me cares of the day
Let me wash them away
All the hideous weight
Dry you gently
Dress you tenderly
And ready for bed
You're asleep still standing up
I like you not made up
You've got a nice face
It is crumpled and creased
From the way that you sleep
But I like you best
In one of my vests
That you casually keep
Steal from me my underwear
You wear it better than me
Go all day, no false alarms
You charm them all,
The worker, labour-free shirker
Management Lady
Government spy
Long legged girl from the west
You came onto the scene
Like an energetic beam
Charming ways you have learnt
All the guys have been bent
By your mesmerizing gaze
Waltzing into situations vacant,
Getting a raise
Writing home to tell your folks
About the city ways
Are nagging at you
What's a girl s'posed to do
When a city closes in
Noise from the lady upstairs
She's as deaf as a post
As transparent as a ray
Boys are queuing
Trouble's brewing
But you take it all in
Ride the wave
Of their affection
Look behind the gaze
And confessions of lust
Pretty Eve in the tub
Please allow me to scrub
Please allow me to rub
Please allow me to scrub
Please allow me to scrub
Please allow me to rub
Tell me cares of the day
Let me wash them away
All the hideous weight
Dress you tenderly
And ready for bed
You're asleep still standing up
I like you not made up
It is crumpled and creased
From the way that you sleep
But I like you best
In one of my vests
That you casually keep
You wear it better than me
Go all day, no false alarms
You charm them all,
The worker, labour-free shirker
Management Lady
Government spy
You came onto the scene
Like an energetic beam
Charming ways you have learnt
All the guys have been bent
By your mesmerizing gaze
Getting a raise
Writing home to tell your folks
About the city ways
Are nagging at you
What's a girl s'posed to do
When a city closes in
Noise from the lady upstairs
She's as deaf as a post
As transparent as a ray
Trouble's brewing
But you take it all in
Ride the wave
Of their affection
Look behind the gaze
And confessions of lust
Please allow me to scrub
Please allow me to rub
Please allow me to scrub
