Iwalked in to your party
But your predicament I'd forgot
Your skirt strategically dipped below one thigh
Your calf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you rang to tell your friends
And all the girls dreamed that they'd never get them, they, d never get them
And, your thread veins, are probably the best thing about you
Your thread veins, are probably the best thing about you
'bout you 'bout you

You got them several years ago
When you used to live with Steve
Well he, said that they made an unpretty pair
And that he would even leave
But you, showed him all the things he loved
And then you came to me
You showed me your veins when you met me for coffee
Met me for coffee, oh...
Your thread veins etc.

Well I heard you went up to see a doctor
And he said what could be done
Then you, knew you'd cheer Ed up
Cos one of them looks
Just like the total eclipse of the sun
And they're where they shouldn't be all the time
And when they're hot they itch
And they're so embarrassing you've got no close friends
You've got no close friends and...
Your thread veins etc.
