Sit tight?..get square 
You could do at the hippodrome 
Slide back?..trombone 
Anybody got a TV tome 
That?s right?..unknown

When I pick up on that smell 
Pick it up and run like hell 
Little woman save me some 
Better get up on your run

Big picture and it never lies 
Big daddy?..will advise  
Eveready?..in disguise

All I never wanted to 
Was pick it up and run with you 
Slip into a summer spell 
Double up and run like hell
