Oh What A Shame - Roy Wood

Well, I’ve been hangin' around

I’m just one of a crowd

And there ain’t much goin' on

Till I was cruising along with the radio on

Playin' one of my favourite songs

Now they are checking my tyres

I’ll get my girl on the wire

Supposin' I ever find a phone

But to my utter dismay I got the answer okay

The other voice was a baritone

Oh, what a shame

Oh, what a shame

Oh, what a shame

Got to get back on the road again

Feelin' less than inspired I chased a girl I admired

Her fancy coat was a real racoon

She could begin the beguine

While reading Life magazine

And feed her face with a silver spoon

I must be so debonair

I threw my glass in the air

And said do you wanna take me home

For making such a display

She drove me down to the bay

And threw me out in the danger zone

Oh, what a shame

Oh, what a shame

Oh, what a shame

Got to get back on the road again

Well, I been gettin' up early with some beautiful girls

And I’ll admit I’ve enjoyed a few

I’m tired of tracking around

I end up being the hound

I know this is what I’m gonna do

I gotta get some honey

With a big white sunny top

Road rocket Chevrolet

So with her seat belt tied

I’ll pull into the side

Till the cops tow the car away

Oh, what a shame

Oh, what a shame

Oh, what a shame

Got to get back on the road again
