well nighttime let her through 
yeah i'm talking to you 
I wanna see her 
oh precious little thing 
with eyes that dance around 
without their clothes 

so buy a pretty dress 
wear it out tonight 
for anyone you think 
could outdo me 
or better still. . . 
be my winding wheel 

'cause i feel just like a map 
without a single place to go of interest 
and i'm further north and south 
if i could shut my mouth 
she'd probably like this 

so buy a pretty dress 
wear it out tonight 
for all the boys you think 
could outdo me 
or better still. . .
be my winding wheel 
be my winding wheel 

well the children laugh and sing 
a song that ushers in her driving rain 
and i'm standing in the station 
like some old record waiting on a train 

so buy a pretty dress 
wear it out tonight 
for anyone you think 
could outdo me 
or better still. . . 
be my winding wheel 
be my winding wheel 
be my winding wheel
