Riverboat Gamblers - The Song We Used To Call "Wasting Time" Lyrics

No kidding? Do the children really have no ears?
Leave the bassinet lying so the snakes on the ground,
they can come and find them?
Is there really a mongoose around here?
Immune to venom vites and serpent strikes and such.

Cause I don't mind if you stay away from me.
Being spurned is fine if it means that I can eat.
Check this out: well I chew em' out and then spit em up again.
Drown em in, cause I had enough of them.
Well you've been force-fed and I know why.

Gotta shed shed shed shed shed shed you skin, for street clothes.
Gotta get real soft and smooth, till you skip the groove
and you get your milking. Can we get Riki Tiki Tavi here?
Lemme see if I get it right, then we sleep tonight on beds.

Cause I don't mind if you stay away from me.
Being spurned is fine if it means that I can eat.
Check this out: well I chew em' out and then spit em up again.
Drown em in, cause I had enough of them.
Well you've been force-fed and I know why.
You're wasting your time.
