Lyrics for How I Blew It with Houdini

Houdini popped up out of the blue She caught me on a saturday She said, "I'm looking for a sensitive intelligent man But all those guys have boyfriends So you'll have to do for now" With her hearing aid and walking stick She looked as if she'd passed her best But she held my arm and said to me "I'm so glad that I've found you You're mine again" Full of the joys of a home win I thought I'd humour an old queen She said, "I'll take you to the cinema And show you where it's at, boy" I tried to back down courteously "Tonight's the night for clubbing, dear" But she pulled her arm away from me And screamed "You hopeless E-fused disco sheep!" "I'm looking for a sensitive intelligent man But all those guys have boyfriends And you won't do No, you won't do" And that's how I blew it with Houdini And that's how I blew it with Houdini And that's how I blew it with Houdini And that's how I blew it with Houdini And that's how I blew it with Houdini And that's how I blew it with Houdini
