Reel Around the Fountain (final Troy Tate mix, Warners source) Songtext
von 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
15 minutes with you
Well, I wouldn't say no
People said that you were virtually dead
And they were so wrong
15 minutes with you
Oh, well, 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

15 minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn′t say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, but I do
15 minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do
Oh, 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

Oh, meet me at the fountain
Shove me on the patio
I′ll take it slowly
Oh

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

Oh, I, I do
Oh, I do
Oh, I do
Oh, I do
