Take My Tip (alternate vocal) - The Song
Words and music by David Bowie
Lyrics
You think you're gonna please her
So you walk right up and tease her
But she walks right on by
You're scared to walk beside her
'Cause you're playing with the type who possess the sky
She got the green backs, my-oh-my
You gotta act tall, think big, if you wanna make a mark in her book
Gotta get ahead, get a car, fancy clothes
Or she'll throw you right off of her hook
Here's the news: you are but one fish in her back garden scene
Gonna make like a shark to be free
Something bad on your mind
Take my tip- get on out
Take my tip- get on out
You can't give all you have to take something big
Before she'll put you right up on her rack
With some others in mind
Take my tip- get on out
Take my tip- get on out
You think you're gonna please her
So you walk right up and tease her
But she walks right on by
You're scared to walk beside her
'Cause you're playing with the body who possess the sky
She got the green backs, my oh my
You gotta act tall, think big, if you wanna make a mark in her book
Gotta get a car, fancy clothes, get ahead
Or she'll throw you right off of her hook
Here's the news- you are but one fish in her back garden scene
Gotta make like a shark to be free
Something bad on your mind
Take my tip- get on out
Take my tip- get on out
You can't give all you have to take something back
'Cause she'll put you right up on the rack
With some others in mind
Take my tip- get on out
Take my tip- get on out
Take my tip- get on out
Take my tip- get on out
