 That  gorilla you're dancing with
 May not have too long to live
 He's putting his hands in the wrong places
 Time to rearrange his face
 He's gonna dance with me instead
 I'm gonna tap dance on his head
   Don't tempt me
   Don't tempt me
   Don't tempt me
 I'm  half-way out of my seat
 He's  got the looks, he's got the lolly
 Driving me clean off my trolley
 Doing the jitterbug, doing the jive
 Doing the shimmy, snakes alive
 That's not a dance, that's S-E-X
 Ban that couple, certificate X!
   Don't tempt me
   Don't tempt me
   Don't tempt me
 I'm  half-way out of my seat
 Ooh  I'm a patient  man
 Ooh  But its out  of hand
 If  there's one  thing  I can't  stand
 Get  yer mittens off my gal
 Or you'll end up as mincemeat pal
 I've got friends, mean sons
 They've got knives, chains, guns
 Gas, grenades, knuckle-dusters,
 Lazy Susans, Blockbusters
