The Smiths — Reel Around The Fountain lyrics

Lyrics

It’s time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
It’s time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
You made him old
Reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I’ll take it now
Fifteen minutes with you
Well, I wouldn’t say no Oh people said
That you were virtually dead
And they were so wrong!
Fifteen minutes with you
I wouldn’t say no Oh people said
That you were easily led
And they were half-right
It’s time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
It’s time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
You made him old
Reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I’ll take it now
Fifteen minutes with you
I wouldn’t say no Oh people see no worth in you
Oh but I do Fifteen minutes with you
Oh I wouldn’t say no Oh people see no worth in you
But I do
I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me Like a butterfly
But take me to the haven of your bed
Was something that you never said
Two lumps, please
You’re the bee’s knees
But so am I Meet me at the fountain
Shove me on the patio
I’ll take it slowly
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh I wouldn’t say no People see no worth in you
Oh but I do
