This is actually the first song officially recorded by Bowie that he himself
wrote. It's a pretty little ditty.
You think you're gonna please her
so you walk right up and tease her
but she walks right on by
You're scared to walk beside her
'cause you're playin' with a spider
who posesses the sky
She's got the green backs, my oh my
You gotta act tall think big
if you wanna make a mark in her book
Gotta get a hit get a car fancy clothes
or she'll throw you right off of her hook
Here's the news you are but one fish in her back garden sea
Gotta make like a shark to be free
Somethin' bad on your mind get it off
Take my tip, get it off, take my tip,
get on out
You think you're gonna please her
so you walk right up and tease her
but she walks right on by
You're scared to walk beside her
'cause you're playin' with a tiger
who posesses the sky
She's got the green backs, my oh my
You gotta act tall think big
if you wanna make a mark in her book
Gotta get a hit get a car fancy clothes
or she'll throw you right off of her hook
Here's the news you are but one fish in her back garden sea
Gotta make like a shark to be free
Somethin' bad on your mind take my tip, get on out
Take my tip, get on out, take my tip, get on out
