What did you say?
Oh okay, oh we don't know that one
But really thanks for asking, I'm not kidding
I wish we could play it
Actually
I'll tell you what we'll do
We'll play one by, how about one by the great Richard Thompson?
What do you think about that?
Featuring the great John Hordenan on steel guitar
One, two, three, go
♪
Valerie, you put me on the rack
Valerie, you'll give me a heart attack
Well you say that I'm history
You say I'm no good
Then you want to be like two babes in the wood
That's what I wouldn't call playing to the gallery
Waiting, waiting, waiting for Valerie
Valerie, why don't you put that down?
Valerie, you're gonna choke or drown
If you don't give up off this eating drag
They're gonna take you home in a body bag
I can't stand to see one more calorie, yeah
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for Valerie
Well, I'm soft in the head and I give her hard cash
She spends all my money on junk and trash
Nylon hair and plastic shoes
Fifty-seven things she's never gonna use
Never, never, never gonna use, Valerie
♪
She's got a figure like this, lips like that
Red fingernails, teeth like a cat
I know she's going to be the ruin of me
Got me running on nervous energy
Runnin' on nervous energy
Valerie, she wants to move out of town
Valerie, she wants the money down
She wants leopard skin this, tiger skin that
Matching luggage and a matching hat
Now I can't afford her on my salary
Waiting, waiting, waiting for Valerie
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for Valerie
Waiting, waiting, waiting for Valerie
