Street Hassle - Lou Reed



a) Waltzing Matilda



Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet

the sexy boy smiled in dismay

She took out four twenties 'cause she liked round figures

everybody's a queen for a day

Oh, babe, I'm on fire and you know how I admire your -

- body why don't we slip away

Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin'

sha-la-la-la, this way



Oh, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

hey, baby, come on, let's slip away



Luscious and gorgeous, oh what a hunk of muscle

call out the national guard

She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her means

from off of the formica topped bar

And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly

and boldly out of this world

And despite people's derision

proved to be more than diversion

sha-la-la-la, later on



And then sha-la-la-la-la, he entered her slowly

and showed her where he was coming from

And then sha-la-la-la-la, he made love to her gently

it was like she'd never ever come

And then sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

when the sun rose and he made to leave

You know, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

neither one regretted a thing





b) Street Hassle



Hey, that cunt's not breathing

I think she's had too much

of something or other, hey, man, you know what I mean

I don't mean to scare you

but you're the one who came here

and you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave

I'm not being smart

or trying to be cold on my part

and I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve

But you know people get all emotional

and sometimes, man, they just don't act rational

they think they're just on TV



Sha-la-la-la, man

why don't you just slip
