Twiddles Lyrics by Misbehavin’ Maidens

Busted

2015

[Verse 1]
Oh, you hear a lot of stories 'bout the sailors and their sport
About how every sailor has a girl in every port
But if you added two and two, you’d figure out right quick
It's just because the girls all have a lad on every ship
[Chorus]
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
It’s oftentimes a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away
[Verse 2]
Lucky Annie was a lady who'd been pleased by many men
They all would sail away but then they'd come right back again
But if they never sailed her way, she really didn't care
Cause I know that you don't need a man to twiddle under there
[Chorus]
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
It’s often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it’s twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away
[Verse 3]
Saber had her lovers, they came in at every door
You could even say that she was really quite a whore
But when she needs some pleasing, she knows just where to go
"I grab my good friend Madam Rouge and we go down below"
[Chorus]
And it’s twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away
[Verse 4]
There was a time when Rouge, she found the sailor men a bore
Each new one was more tiresome than the one she had before
Now she finds more joy in breeches than she ever did of old
"I’m more fond of their bulges when they're pouches full of gold"
[Chorus]
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away
[Verse 5]
Why the boys would look at her, it puzzled poor Flint Locke
She would sit and smile and nod and let them brag and talk
But if they tried to touch her, well, she'd put them on the run
"'Cause why would I need a lover when I've got myself a gun?"
[Chorus]
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away
[Verse 6]
So next time you're with a lady and she takes you to her bed
Be sure to please her well, and remember what we've said
For if you do not treat her right, then know that this is true
Us ladies all can have our fun without involving you
[Chorus]
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ai-dee-ai
Twiddle-ee-ai-dee-ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away
