Under Your Thumb Songtext
von David McCormack

(Ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah-ah)

I waited for the lift, I got in it
I went up to the mezzanine-ah
I walked around, got some chewie, got a headache
Spent all my money on a magazine-ah
Oh pretty girl, a voodoo child, a woman
(Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)
You know I would do anything for you
Anything if you wanted me to
(Ah, ah-ah-ah)

You must remember me from years before
Hanging with the Filipinos
But now and then, the words get stuck on my tongue


Am I under your thumb?
Oh, will you stay all night and then just sleep all day?
Am I under your thumb?
Oh, will you banish the night just to sleep all day again?

The following program
(Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)
Is rated NRC-ah
It′s recommended viewin'
By people over 16-ah
Say, hey look at that photo man
It′s probably me
(Ah, ah-ah-ah)
But taken long ago, when I was only 17
But, you know what I mean

And if I lie to you, goddammit
Will you lie to me-ah?
And I don't see what all this talking has solved

Am I under your thumb?
Will you stay all night and then just sleep all day?
Am I under your thumb?
Oh, will you banish the night just to sleep all day again? (Again)

Oh, but I can understand
I'm just trying to make some friends


So give me your name and address again (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Give me your name and address again (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Give me your name and address again (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Give me your name and address again (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Give me your name and address again (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Give me your name and address again (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Give me your name and address again (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Give me your name and address again (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
On second thoughts, I′ll just stay in and watch the TV glow
