Lyrics
He was a real gargoyle of a man that captured that beautiful girl's hand
She fell like flowers from a cup
She let the mad man fill her up
He was a dream, he was a dream
He was a big old nasty thing
.
He flew over the wide open field
He taught her how to walk, talk and feel
She never had a chance, you see?
She had no swing to set her free
Only a dream, only a dream
Only a big old beautiful thing
.
He led her down the corridor
Imagination folk and lore
Like so many little birds, before
Secrets that she'd never tell
He was impressed she learnt so well
.
Never underestimate a gal
Never underestimate a gal
.
She decided to enjoy the ride
She threw her cape over her brighter side
She tossed her innocence to the wind
Said "C'mon man, let's do it again
It's like a dream, it's like a dream
It's like I big old nasty thing"
.
Oh, where to next? She'll never know
But I'm sure it's a hell of a way to go
With her mouth shut down, chin propped up high
She'll figure out another alibi
Another scheme, another dream
Another big old nasty thing
.
She led him down her secret den
Like so many simpletons, he never knew or saw what was coming
Secrets that he'd never tell
Underneath the Swiss Canal
.
Never underestimate a gal
Never underestimate a gal
Never underestimate a gal
.
