When the Girls Some Out To Play

about

A song about growing up and how you don't like the girls much when you're nine... but then pretty soon they begin to get under your skin and you have a hard time staying sane.​

lyrics

When the Girls Come Out to Play

I took her down to the river
I had something I wanted to give her
My prize conker on a string
You don’t like the girls when you’re only nine
You think they’re just a waste of time
But then they get under your skin

Temptation’s rising
It’s a hot sunny day
It ain’t surprising
When they look that way
When the girls come out to play

She looked nice but the gasworks was smelly
It wasn’t like an ad you see on the telly
And mother wants to know where you been
We looked in the window and made silly faces
Got so high on liquorice laces
The girl got under my skin

The boys were kicking balls up against a wall
But I was Superman, had the cape and all
Maybe I was a little thin
Sally knocks, ‘Are you coming out to play?’
‘Gotta have me tea and I’ll be there right away
The girl got under my skin

Temptation’s rising
It’s a hot sunny day
It ain’t surprising
When they look that way
When the girls come out to play

I take her down to the river
There’s something I wanna give her
But it ain’t no diamond ring
We go tussling in the tall grass
Don’t know if this is really gonna last
But the girl’s got under my skin
