Singapore Silk Torpedo by The Pretty Things Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1974

I've sailed the seas, a hard sea dog to please
Tattooed on my chest, is the girl I love best
Back in 1954, on leave in old Singapore
I was soaking in gin, when Miss Foxy walked in

She's my Singapore silk torpedo
Wearing high satin non stick lip glow
I fell a victim to this female hipno
She's my Singapore silk torpedo

She drives a Mercedes, she's queen of the ladies
My China seas sweetheart, she tears me apart

She's my Singapore silk torpedo
Wearing high satin non stick lip glow
I fell a victim to this female hipno
She's my Singapore silk torpedo

You speak of love to her, a smile cracks her face
She doesn't believe in rules, to her it's just a race
She's seen both black and white
You shouldn't go out tonight
Unless you me in to play it mean
She's like a spike in the head
I'd be better off dead
Just can't shake her loose
Now I'm hooked on this juice

We'll build a house on the cliff
A small navy our gift
Passing ships in the night
Anchored safe we're alright

She's my Singapore silk torpedo
Wearing high satin non stick lip glow
I fell a victim to this female hipno
She's my Singapore silk torpedo
