Miss Thing
Adam And The Ants · Other Songs - Adam And The Ants
We saw a honey just the other day
A wild cat, a loud shirt
Thinking up stuff just too different
Wa, la, ba, loomba, wa, la, ba, loomba
Wa, la, ba, loomba, wa, la, ba, loom
She was the only one to love him up right
Miss Thing, where you gonna go?
You ever seen a man jump a piano?
Gutter talk, knock 'em dead
Pompadour six inches above his head
Wa, la, ba, loomba, wa, la, ba, loomba
Wa, la, ba, loomba, wa, la, ba, loom
She was the only one to love him up right
Miss Thing, please tell me why
He says child when he meets another guy
Sweaty, staggering out of the swamp
Freaky deak, dancing, pumping that pomp
Wa, la, ba, loomba, wa, la, ba, loomba
Wa, la, ba, loomba, wa, la, ba, loom
She was the only one to love him up right
Turn it up, have your fill
Up in the treble
A voice like a power drill
