Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - Hey, Lady Godiva lyrics

rate me

(Shel Silverstein)

Hey Lady Godiva, ridin' throughout town

Naked on your big white horse

With your long hair hangin' down

Lady Godiva, you say you're frightened

and so shy

I hate to bust your bubble but you

Sure picked a funny place to hide

Hey Lady Godiva, lookin' for a place

Where no one wants your body

And nobody knows your face

Lady Godiva, you say you wanna be loved

For what's inside

I don´t know much about horses but you

Sure picked a funny place to ride

Every man's just a clutchin' hand

Reachin' out to grab you

Every man's a quiverin' lance

Tryin' hard to stab you - don' let 'em nab you

Hey Lady Godiva, lookin' kind of scared

You showed 'em all your talents

And nobody seems to care

Lady Godiva, could it be no-one wants to ride

Come to think it over

You may have picked the perfect place to hide
