  • Candy took the pearls, got ahead of the girls
    Got on top and found the secret entrance
    Are you satisfied?
    Through neon doors, 'cross killing floors
    She got sucked into a champagne desert
    Are you satisfied?

    Daddy said: I'll break your bones
    If you come home dressed in Peacock clothes
    Mother said: quit the show
    She didn't want the neighbors to know
    Candy had to quit the show

    Well, Candy didn't care, when she started her affair
    With the studs and the mares of the night
    Are you satisfied?
    Teddy knows the rule, of the underground school
    He's got Candy wrapped 'round his finger
    Are you satisfied?

    Daddy said: I'll break your bones
    If you don't get your tricks off the phone
    Mother said: quit the show
    She didn't want the neighbors to know

    Candy's going bad, got a room to let
    Candy's going bad, got a pimp named Ted
    Candy's going bad, Long Green's where it's at
    Candy's going bad, she got stars in her head

    Candy took the pearls, got ahead of the girls
    Got on top and found the secret entrance
    Are you satisfied?

    Daddy said: I'll break your bones
    If you come home dressed in Peacock clothes
    Mother said: quit the show
    I don't want the neighbors to know

    Candy's going bad, got a room to let
    Candy's going bad, got a pimp named Ted
    Candy's going bad, Long Green's where it's at
    Candy's going bad, she got stars in her head

    Candy's going bad, got a room to let
    Candy's going bad, she got stars in her head Writer/s: BARRY HAY, GEORGE KOOYMANS

  • Lucyz from California, UsaGolden Earring was a phenomenal band and Moontan is a great album. I think their vast library of music is sorely under appreciated in the USA. FYI...Barry Hay’s first language was English.
