Reel Around the Fountain

The Smiths

It's time the tale were told 
Of how you took a child 
And you made him old 

It's time the tale were told 
Of how you took a child 
And you made him old 
You made him old 

Reel around the fountain 
Slap me on the patio 
I'll take it now 
Oh ... 

Fifteen minutes with you 
Well, I wouldn't say no 
People said that you were virtually dead 
And they were so wrong 

Fifteen minutes with you 
Oh, I wouldn't say no 
People said that you were easily led 
And they were half-right 
They ... oh, they were half-right, oh 

It's time the tale were told 
Of how you took a child 
And you made him old 

It's time that the tale were told 
Of how you took a child 
And you made him old 
You made him old 

Reel around the fountain 
Slap me on the patio 
I'll take it now 
Oh ... 

Fifteen minutes with you 
Well, I wouldn't say no 
Oh, people see no worth in you 
Oh, but I do. 
Fifteen minutes with you 
Oh, I wouldn't say no 
Oh, people see no worth in you 
I do 
I ... oh, I do 

I dreamt about you last night 
And I fell out of bed twice 
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly 
But "take me to the haven of your bed" 
Was something that you never said 
Two lumps, please 
You're the bee's knees 
But so am I 

Meet me at the fountain 
Shove me on the patio 
I'll take it slowly 
Oh ... 

Fifteen minutes with you 
Oh, I wouldn't say no 
Oh, people see no worth in you 
Oh, but I do. 
Fifteen minutes with you 
Oh, I wouldn't say no 
Oh, people see no worth in you 
I do 
I ... I do 
Oh, oh, I do 
Oh, I do 
Oh, I do
