Written by annA rydeR in March 2000

lyrics

Mr Lovely’s out tonight, dressed up to his neck
Happy as the moon as bright - in the mirror he makes a final check
That everything’s right

Mr Lovely’s hair is V-shaped, his teeth are sharp
Unfortunately his last girl escaped when it wasn’t dark (oh well)
He puts on his cape
And all conditions are right

MR LOVELY HE LOOKS NICE
MR LOVELY WANTS TO MAKE THEM LOOK TWICE
BEWARE OF MR LOVELY HE’S FAST
AND MANY A GIRL HAS LOVED MR LOVELY IN THE PAST

There’s a sparkle in his eye, he’s appearing at the bar
He doesn’t have to try, she can already see he’s a star (small fry)
To him it’s hello but for her it’s goodbye
Truly she can’t say no
Cos she’s actually hypnotised, she’s actually hypnotised

MR LOVELY...

And it’s of no use that she has a crucifix upon a chain around her neck
And it’s of absolutely no use that she’s been eating garlic bread
Cos he’s immune, he doesn’t dance to that old tune
For he’s a modern and sensitive guy especially under a full moon
And he takes her in his arms and charms her

Mr Lovely’s back now - there’s a spring in his step and yet again
There’s a girl on his arm somehow and he dearly craves her neck (yes really)
He leads her to his bed and nothing is said
And the duvet’s red ...

MR LOVELY HE LOOKS NICE.
