lyrics

I'm so Little Jack Horner, you're so Little Bo Peep
Let's get together in the lunch hour, but we must be discreet
I'm not the kind that makes the first fifteen 'cause given half the chance
I'd rather pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you

Older but no wiser in a military spot
The NCO just told the C-in-C everything I'm not
I wonder why they wonder why I went A-W-O-L
It was to pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you
It was to pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you

'Cause you got a style that makes me want to stick with it
And you got a smile that just won't quit
And you got a walk that makes me wanna walk with it
And you got a smell like a magnet
Baby I wanna, I wanna, how I wanna
Pet you and hold you
I wanna pet you and hold you
Pet you and hold you

Can't get away with murder like all those pin-up boys
My middle name spells O-R-D-I-N-A-R-Y
I come across about as mean as a mouse but I become a lion
Each time I pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you
Well I pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you

I wanna pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you
I wanna pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you
I wanna pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you
I wanna pet you and hold you and pet you
Pet you and hold you
I wanna you and hold you

Nick Lowe London, UK

Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. ... more
