First time, I did it for the hell of it Stuck it on the back of my tongue And swallowed it Second time, things are Getting easier Blow me down this wind Is getting breezier Third time lucky, maybe feelin' fuzzy Oh my God! we're getting hippy-dippy! 5-6-7 man I'm in heaven And I'm growing my beard Until it gets sheared You're on my mind Every day and every night And you'll never go away Cause I know you're here to stay For the rest of my mind First time, I did it for the hell of it Stuck it right up and that Was the end of it Second time, things are Getting easier Hairs on the back of My neck are getting stickier Third time unlucky perversely bloody Doctor I'm ill please pass Me the brandy 5-6-7 I heard George Foreman say: Slow horses loose Fast women frighten You're on my mind Every day and every night And you'll never go away Cause I know you're here to stay For the rest of my mind I just keep repeating myself I just keep repeating myself I just keep repeating myself
