lyrics

CHEAP FEEL

Old Man Freud
had a thing about a little girl
Tina is her name
& he'd get his point across
something to do with loss
He'd lean way down
& he'd kiss her knees
just in consolation for her misery
just to get his point across
after all he's the boss

Big deal Baby
I'm old enough to be your father
part of you is willing after
all I ever wanted was a
CHEAP FEEL
das all right
it's just a CHEAP FEEL
in the middle of the night
It's just a CHEAP FEEL
it feel so good
It hardly cost a penny
& I'm only being friendly with you

Big Bad Jerry
had a thing about a little boy
coach him in the Little League
just to get his point across
no matter what the cost
Take him camping
on a summer night
wrestle his pajamas off
examining his body
just to get his point across
after all he's the boss

CHORUS

Poor Aunt Sally
had a thing about a neighborhood
paperboy delivery man
& she invited him in
she'd get her point across
(her legs were so attractively crossed)
She'd give 'em a beer
& she'd hold his hand
shove her hips against his body
as she started to dance
she'd get her point across
after all she was the boss
