Local Girls - Graham Parker

Sit by my window and look outside

Wonder why a sun don't shine on me

What's wrong with you you stupid child

Don't you think that

I'm the one you're waiting to see

Don't talk too much

'cause she falls for the soft touch

Makes her feel everything is secure

Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

She's probably halfwit

she must be straight

Bound to have a mother

who knows nothing but hate

Don't want to laugh

I'd rather knock her down

Standing at the bus stop

where she waits each morning

So isolated that she thinks that the army

Is the place where a man oughta be

Don't bother with them they don't bother me

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

They got the walk they got the talk

Right down without a flaw

At six o'clock I got to stop

My dreaming at the counter of the store

Don't bother with them

Without a doubt I gotta intercept

Must be time someone

went shouted in their ear

Hey

You look all right in that cheap green dress

But every time you swish

it round you make me disappear

Yes I'm aware of exactly what I'm doing

Making everything a mystery

Don't bother with it it don't bother me

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with them

they don't bother me

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Bother bother bother bother

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls
