I say hey [HEY] I say ho [HO]
I say I promise you my boyfriend’s ok mother
He didn’t graduate from school but I can guarantee you
that he’s got the brains for one and two and three
He says ho [HO] He says hey [HEY]
I say he talks in mysterious ways
’cause he lost his front tooth in a fight
but he’s still worth watching
I think I understand what he is trying to say
Because I’m Lily from the Middleway street
Yes I am

[She is brave she is strong
she is stubborn she is sweet
she is the God damn Lily
from the Middleway street]

I say wo [WO] I say we [WE]
I say you know his crazy family
They’re always leaving their key to the front door
’cause everyone’s invited
I’m in love with this poet
I say woopedi [DOO] I say woopedi [DONG]
I say he wrote me this beautiful song, he said it might sound silly
but you smell like a flower so I’m calling you Lily
the beautiful Lily from the Middleway street
Yes I am

[She is brave...]

So mother come on [COME ON] He’s turning me on [ME ON]
He’s always been misunderstood come on and treat him as good
as he deserves and as you wanted to be treated
and you could be his rock ’n’ roll mother in law
Stamp your feet [FEET] He doesn’t eat meat [MEAT]
but I’m sure you can arrange something green
Can you do that for me? He will be mine until the next century
Don’t forget who’s asking cause I’m Lily from the Middleway street Ohoo
I’m the God damn Lily

[She is brave...]

Lily from the Middleway street
She is the God damn Lily
