Reel Around the Fountain lyrics

It's time the tale were told

Of how you took a child

And you made him old

Reel around the fountain

Slap me on the patio

I'll take it now

Fifteen minutes with you

Well I wouldn't say no

People said that you were virtually dead

And they were so wrong

Fifteen minutes with you

I wouldn't say no

People said that you were easily led

And they were half right

It's time the tale were told

Of how you took a child

And you made him old

Reel around the fountain

Slap me on the patio

I'll take it now

Fifteen minutes with you

I wouldn't say no

People see no worth in you

But I do

I dreamt about you last night

And I fell out of bed twice

You can pin and mount me like a butterfly

But take me to the haven of your bed

Was something that you never said

Two lumps please, you're the bee's knees, but so am I

Meet me at the fountain

Shove me on the patio

I'll take it slowly

Fifteen minutes with you

I wouldn't say no

People see no worth in you

But I do
