N.C. E7
I'm just like a hungry little flea
E7
Jumping on somebody's warm body
E7
When you start to itch and scratch and scream
E7
Once I'm in, you can't get rid of me
N.C.
Once I'm in, you can't get rid of me
[Chorus]
E
Drip you in diamonds, pour you in cream
A C D E
You will be mine for eternity
E
Hair in my shears fall at your feet
A C D E
You will be mine for eternity
[Verse 2]
E7
When you're walking down your sunny street, I got it
E7
Thinking of your bills or what to eat, I got it, I, I got it
E7
Then you feel that little prick from me, I got it, I, I got it
E7 N.C.
Look at you and all I see is meat
[Chorus]
E
Drip you in diamonds, pour you in cream
A C D E
You will be mine for eternity
E
I'll bring you China, milk for your tea
A C D E
You will be mine for eternity
[Interlude]
