Roll It On Robbie lyricsOn The Very Best of Redgum (1987) and released as a single
Roll It On Robbie (Hugh McDonald and Michael Spicer) Oh roll it on Robby Oh slip it on Sam You want to play it safe You wanna be secure Remember that prevention is better than a cure You want to get around wanna stay up late You wanna make love you just can't wait You want to get it on like the birds and the bees Here's a little secret stop you catching a disease It's a shower and a raincoat my bald-headed friend It's putting on the breaks before you hit the bent It's spending time to think when your blood is running hot Cause if you're looking down a barrel you're going to get shot Oh roll It on Robby Oh slip it on Sam You've want to play it safe Play your notes for sure Remember that prevention is better than a cure The car lights flashing on a disco floor Girl of my dreams waltzes through the door I walked up to her, asked her for a dance The way she moved her body I knew I had a chance Had to play it safe so I went to the machine But it drank all my money and my pockets are clean I explained the situation and asked her for a loan She said "Don't worry baby I always bring my own" Oh roll It on Robby Oh slip it on Sam You want to play it safe Play your notes for sure Remember that prevention is better than a cure Me and Suzy at the party just fooling around Getting kind of heavy then the lights go down Said "Suzy can you feel it?" she said "I feel it too But if you haven't got protection you know what you can do" Oh roll it on Robby Oh slip it on Sam You want to play It Safe You wanna be secure Remember that prevention is better than a cure Oh roll it on Robby Oh slip it on Sam You want to play it safe Play your notes for sure Remember that prevention is better than a cure |
