Lily From The Middleway Street

I say hey (hey) I say ho (ho)
I say I promise you my boyfriend's okay mother
He didn't graduate from school but I can guarantee you
He's got the brains for one and two and three
He says ho (ho) He says hey (hey)
I say he talks in mysterious ways
'cause he lost his front tooth in a fight
but he's still worth watching
I think I understand what he is trying to say
Because I'm Lily from the Middleway street
Yes I am

She is brave she is strong
she is stubborn she is sweet
she is the goddamn Lily
from the Middleway street

I say wo (wo) I say we (we)
I say you know his crazy family
They're always leaving their key to the front door
'cause everyone's invited
I'm in love with this poet
who says whoopedi (doo) who says whoopedi (daa)
I say he wrote me this beautiful song, he said it might sound silly
but you smell like a flower so I'm calling you Lily
Beautiful Lily from the Middleway street
Lily from the Middleway street
Yes I am

(She is brave she is strong
she is stubborn she is sweet
she is the goddamn Lily
from the Middleway street)

So mother come on (come on)
He's turning me on (me on)
I say, he always been misunderstood come on and treat him as good
as he deserves and as you wanted to be treated
You could be his rock 'n' roll mother-in-law
Stamp your feet (feet) He doesn't eat meat (meat)
but I'm sure you can arrange something green
Can you do that for me? He will be mine until the next century
Don't forget who's asking cause I'm Lily from the Middleway street
Lily from the Middleway Street
I'm the goddamn Lily

She is brave she is strong
she is stubborn she is sweet
she is the goddamn Lily
from the Middleway street

Lily from the Middleway
Lily from the Middleway
Lily from the Middleway
Lily from the Middleway street
She is the goddamn Lily
Lily from the Middleway
Lily from the Middleway
Lily from the Middleway
Lily from the Middleway street
She is the goddamn Lily
