Spearmint

Sample

Ooh down the road

That's where you are baby

Ooh I'm on my way

Coming back to you baby

Verse 1

Little shop at half past eight

Pretending I'm not running late

Grab some gum from the rack by the till

You ask me if that's all and I'm standing still

Thirty-two pence and I count it slow

Coin by coin so I don't have to go

Hook

I don't even like the taste of mint

(ooh spearmint)

Thirty packs of gum and now I'm skint

(ooh spearmint baby)

I just like the way you say cheers, love

(ooh say it again)

Same time tomorrow, that's enough

(ooh see you at eight)

Sample

Spearmint sweet

Crushing on you baby

Pocket full of pennies

Spending them on you baby

Verse 2

Your badge says happy to help and I'm happy to stand

In a queue for a pack I don't need in my hand

Bought a lottery ticket just to stall for a minute

Didn't check the numbers, I don't care what's in it

You sort the newspapers, I sort my hair in the glass

Act like I'm busy reading the back of my bus pass

Hook

I don't even like the taste of mint

(ooh spearmint)

Thirty packs of gum and now I'm skint

(ooh spearmint baby)

I just like the way you say cheers, love

(ooh say it again)

Same time tomorrow, that's enough

(ooh see you at eight)

Instrumental

Verse 3

Friday morning, the till's on the blink

You slide me the gum and you give me a wink

Pay me tomorrow, that's all you said

I left with my face going cherry red

Thirty-two pence that I owe you now

A reason to come back, and I don't care how

Bridge

One day I'll come in with nothing to buy

(no gum)

Stand at the front and just say hi

(just hi)

Not today though, give it a week

(one more pack)

Mouth full of mint and I can't even speak

(not a word)

Sample

Say hello

Just a little word baby

Look my way

Only for a second baby

Spoken

"Created by DiscoPrincess -- Royalty of the Night"

Hook

Forty packs in the kitchen drawer

(ooh spearmint)

And look at me, I'm buying four more

(ooh spearmint baby)

One of these days I'll say what's true

(ooh any day now)

Till then it's gum and a smile from you

(ooh see you at eight)

Outro

Ooh spearmint

Got me smiling baby

See you at eight

Bright and early baby
