Like A Tall Thin Girl - Lyrics by Jethro Tull


Lyrics
Well, I don't care to eat out in smart restaurants.
I'd rather do a Vindaloo: take away is what I want.
I was down at the old Bengal, having telephoned a treat
when I saw her framed in the kitchen door.

She looked good enough to eat.(
And I mean eat.)

She was a tall thin girl.

She looked like a tall thin girl.

She said, ``
Whose is this carry-out?''

My face turned chilli red.

Well, I don't know about carrying out,
but you can carry me off to bed.(
And I mean bed.)

She was a tall thin girl.

She moved like a tall thin girl.

Maybe I can fetch for it,
and maybe I can stretch for it.

I may not be a fat man and I'm not exactly small
but when it all comes down, couldn't stand my ground.

This girl was tall.(
And I mean tall.)


Big boy Doane, he's a drummer. Don't play no tambourine
but he's Madras hot on the bongo trot,
if you know just what I mean.

Stands six foot three in his underwear;
going to get him down here and see
if this good lady's got a little sister `bout the same size as me.

She was a tall thin girl.

She looked like a tall thin girl.

Well, can I fetch for it?

Well, maybe I can stretch for it?

Well, am I up for it? Or do I have to go down for it?
