The Spiv Song by Jessica Law
The Spiv Song
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
G D
He'll get you more than your ration-book will
C G
Negligees made out of parachute silk
D
Proper sheer stockings, no need to use tea
D G
Tobacco and whiskey, it's all duty free
C D
If you ask him nicely, he'll forge your degree
C G
You know his diploma's a photocopy
D
But he can't be black market cause his spats are too white
G
Besides he just seems so nice
[Chorus]
G
Well, it sounds like the truth cause he says it so smooth
D C
But you know you can't stick it; that's one sticky wicket
G
And he deals with poachers and counterfeit broaches
D G
He'll con you as long as you live
D G
Oh you'll never outsmart the spiv
[Verse]
G D
Now please don't get drawn in cause it's all a ruse
C G
From the tip of his trilby to his shiny shoes
D
As soon as you see him you ought to beware
D G
You should never trust someone with such tidy hair
C D
And everything he has is part of his loot
C G
He picked up his morals at a car boot
D
With a counterfeit character he bought off a man
D G
And a background that fell off the back of a van
[Chorus]
G
Well, it sounds like the truth cause he says it so smooth
D C
But you know you can't stick it; that's one sticky wicket
G
And he deals with poachers and counterfeit broaches
D G
He'll con you as long as you live
D G
Oh you'll never outsmart the spiv
G D
To see a man's soul you should look at his feet
C G
They say squeaky shoes are a sign of deceit
D
And his heart may look golden but it's not bonafide
D G
If you break it there's steel inside
D C
And I should know, cause I've tried
Em C
And there'll never be a penetentary
D G
That's capable of keeping him inside
