Hey said the devil When I met her at the roundabout She's got powers Magnetic devours you of everything you've got She's a golden retriever Retrieves your oldest coin Leads you blindly down every dark alley Then she'll bleed you dry Stop! Said the puppy When I met him at the zebra cross She said "You need protection From every direction But she'll get you anyhow" She's a golden retriever Retrieves your oldest coin Leads you blindly down every dark alley Then she'll bleed you dry She's a golden retriever She's a golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever
