Those backstreet women, watch what you say
You turn your back and they slide away
They run next door, they give it all away
Doing the slide
The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide
They're gonna get you, dead or alive
Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife
Doing the backstreet slide
Do it all day, do the backstreet slide
Gatemouth woman leaning on the fence
She's got no teeth, she's got no sense
You don't need much intelligence
Doing the slide
Slide over here, slide over there
Spreading that scandal everywhere
Stab you in the back and they just don't care
Doing the slide
Now slander is a loving tongue
They speak your name to everyone
Never is a curse left unsung
Doing the slide
