Tallulah, Darling (To Mae West and Tallulah Bankhead)

Tallulah darling
She was so daring
Yet insecure
There was no cure

Tallulah baby
She could be funny
But deep inside
Fewer smile

Tallulah darling
She was so daring
Yet insecure
There was no cure

When you're good you're good
But when you're bad you're better
When you're good you're good
But when you're bad you're better

Tallulah honey
Red hair and horny
Tacky but real
Lonely yet healed

Tallulah sugar
Many a lover
Seldom a man
Who'd understand

Tallulah honey
Red hair and horny
Tacky but real
Lonely yet healed

When you're good you're good
But when you're bad you're better
When you're good you're good
But when you're bad you're better

Tallulah sweetie
Such fatal power
Those little hours
Too sweet and sour

Tallulah sunshine
Wasting your time
Losing your soul
Then switch role

Tallulah darling
She was so daring
Yet insecure
There was no cure

Tallulah darling
She was so daring
Yet insecure
There was no cure

(Okay so the other day I was in this bar and I saw this guy that I
slept with and he was with all his family and his new girlfriend,
and he stares at me and he looks at me and he goes y'know "Who are
you?" and I tell to him "Whats the matter
darling don't you recognise me with my clothes on?")

(Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?)
