 They said you went down - to the Grove - looking to score (oh, what a bore) 
G                 E7                    Am 
 "It was a really heavy scene down there" 
                      Ebdim 
I've heard that before 
G                                     E 
 And then you, you bought one gram of icing sugar

Well, I guess that's "sweet aaas"

Oh, you - yeah, you are such a street operator

 You went to the South Bank - for the Salsa - just last night (oh, outtasight!)

 Got short-changed by the barmaid

But you daren't, you daren't put her right 
       G                    E 
But you, you really took it out on her later
