A novelty pop song?
pulling
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
It must have been getting very late (or early?) in Bahrain when I decided to have a go at that most underrated of musical genres, the novelty pop song. It's a good hook line though....
Lyrics
ouch and Go A D G I came across a lady, walking in the park A D G She looked the kind of lady who liked to stay out after dark A D G I asked if she’s like to take a stroll and pass the time A D D# E G E She said she’d really like to but then she laid it on the line Chorus: A G You can take me to the movies and we’ll stand in the line A G Or you can take me out to dinner and we’ll have a good time A G Then you can walk me to my hotel room and that’ll be fine F E A D G etc But if you lay a hand on me you gotta know - It’s touch and go Then I found another lady propping up a bar She looked the kind of lady who might like to go quite far I asked her if she’s like to have a drink or two And when the drink was over perhaps there’s something we could do She looked me up and down gave a nod then shook her head Then she got up off the bar stool and this is what she said.. Chorus So I really got disheartened, just trying to play the field You’d think there would be someone, someone who would yield Then this guy came over to me and asked me for my name He was going to a party would I like to do the same G E He seemed so very friendly as nice as you could meet G F E G E But this is what I told him, as I got up to my feet.. Chorus variant Well that’s a really kindly offer that is hard to decline So you can take me to your party now and that’ll be fine But let me just make one thing clear so you don’t get the wrong sign If you lay a hand on me you gotta know it’s touch and go
