The Soft Boys
He's a Reptile
Here he comes and there he goes
Got a brand-new suit of clothes
Looks around and sniffs the air
(What'd you find?) Well he'll have her on a fork and spoon
(What'd you find?) And he'll toss her right back over the moon
(What'd you find?) Watch, he moves in out there in the yard
Rule number one: don't try too hard

I believe he was my friend
Right up 'til he stopped pretending
He makes amends
Although it's ended long ago
Ah, he's moving in now just some piece
Everybody looks like the police
Feet of gold and on his skin a fleece
Sucking shepherd, they just make out Nice [?]

[Chorus]
He's a reptile and it shows
Got a web between his toes, too right
He's a reptile back in town
He's a reptile, hanging 'round tonight
He's a reptile, never cries
He's a reptile, never dies

Here he comes and there he goes
And when he's been, it hardly shows
He covers up so very well
But I can tell, see your baby she's been on the sand
How the hell did that guy get on dry land?
Better bolt up both your baby's doors
She'll be dancing with him on all fours

[Chorus]
He's a reptile back in town
He's a reptile hanging 'round tonight
He's a reptile, whoa whoa whoa
He's a reptile, watch him go tonight
He's a reptile, never tries
He's a reptile, never cries
He's a reptile of his town
He's a reptile, hanging 'round tonight

He's a reptile on his own
He's a reptile with a bone tonight
He's a reptile, never tries
He's a reptile, he never cries
He's a reptile, he doesn't care
He's a reptile, he's never there tonight

He's a reptile just for you
He's a reptile and it's true tonight
He's a reptile, watch him go
How you stand, it never show
He's a reptile, whoa
He's a reptile, whoa
