Songwriter: Rod Stewart
Well, she was a lady of charms
A string of young boys on each arm
She was good to those
Who took off all their clothes or played guitar
Love comes, days go, anyway your mind blows
Wham bam, thank you mam
We'll boogie till the rooster crows
Oh yeah
We lived this way for so long
You said pain never hurt anyone
Oh no no no
Surprise surprise, sunshine on the floor
Stretcher out the door
And that was it it it
God forsaken empty shell
Forgotten in a bad smell
Wham bam look out Sam
The devil claims his own to mourn in hell
Sha la la la, shang a do rang shang a lang lang
Shang a lang mama, sing it mama
Say it yes yes
Close your breath and hold your eyes
Turn the corner, a surprise, and there you are
Well, our lives are run by ego freaks
A walking book of rules he seeks
To keep you in your pigeon hole
And bash you if your soul steps out of line
C'mon
C'mon, c'mon
A string of young boys on each arm
She was good to those
Who took off all their clothes or played guitar
Love comes, days go, anyway your mind blows
Wham bam, thank you mam
We'll boogie till the rooster crows
Oh yeah
We lived this way for so long
You said pain never hurt anyone
Oh no no no
Surprise surprise, sunshine on the floor
Stretcher out the door
And that was it it it
God forsaken empty shell
Forgotten in a bad smell
Wham bam look out Sam
The devil claims his own to mourn in hell
Sha la la la, shang a do rang shang a lang lang
Shang a lang mama, sing it mama
Say it yes yes
Close your breath and hold your eyes
Turn the corner, a surprise, and there you are
Well, our lives are run by ego freaks
A walking book of rules he seeks
To keep you in your pigeon hole
And bash you if your soul steps out of line
C'mon
C'mon, c'mon
