GThere's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out Don't Cwant to be a puppet or a ventriloquist 'Cause there's no ventilation on a critical list G DFingers creeping up my spine are not Cmine to resist GStrict time
CHORUS:
DToughen up, toughen up Keep your lip buttoned up C Strict time G
GOh the muscles flex and the fingers curl And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl Strict time COh he's all hands, don't touch that dial The courting cold wars weekend witch trial GStrict time DAll the boys are straight laced and the Cgirls are frigid The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid 'cause it's Gstrict time Strict time
(chorus)
GYou talk in hushed tones, I talk in lush tones Try to look Italian through the musical Valium Strict time CThinking of grand larceny Smoking the everlasting cigarette of chasDtity Cute assistants staying alive CMore like a hand job than the handG jive Strict time
