Lucy you’re a floozy
You ain’t choosy
You’ve been flashing those big blue eyes
At the other guys
Don’t be surprised
If you don’t end up with a
Baby cool it, don’t over do it
Always have something left as your standby
Lucy baby keep me in mind

You’re so reckless
A diamond necklace
Ain’t no substitute for how you feel
Such a steal
Lucy baby let’s make it real

Red light outa sight is what you’re saying
You don’t really think that’s true
No help needed you’re displaying
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

As the queen bee I’ll make your honey
I’ll even populate your hive
I’ve got a sting that ain’t so funny
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Can I try you
Let me buy you
Just a piece of my delight
For the night
You’ll find it alright
Lucy baby keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind
