Rafferty

from From The Depths by Would-Be-Goods

/

lyrics

I met him at O’Reilly’s on Third Avenue

He swore that he was sober but he’d had a few

My head was telling me, he’s just another slob

My heart was saying he’s cuter than a puppy dog


Rafferty, you’re the man for me

Darling, I love you so

I must admit although

I know you are a rogue

I can’t resist your blarney and your Irish brogue


He thinks that going Dutch means I pick up the check

He hears a car backfiring and he hits the deck

Whenever we go out, I know it’s going to end

Hiding down an alley from his latest friend


Rafferty, you’re the man for me

Honey, I love you still

You promised me a thrill

You took me to Brazil

You left me with your trousers and the hotel bill


Rafferty, darling Rafferty

Honey, I think you’re jake

But I’ve done a second take

It’s been a big mistake

I know that I’d be safer with a rattle snake
