[Verse 1]
My body couldn’t handle it, I couldn’t hold it in
I was rendered powerless, I couldn’t do a thin’
Beans in rich tomato sauce, familiar and tinned
The rest of that long fateful night is written on the wind

[Verse 2]
I took my partner by the hand and led her up the stairs
We heard a fridge door opening, it caught us unawares
The colour left my lover’s face, she looked nauseous and pale
’Cause there was something sinister, hot on my tail

[Chorus]
Hot on my tail
Hot on my tail
I’m sorry everybody
But I’ve got something hot on my tail

[Verse 3]
It was a tough one to dеny, but I remained tight-lipped
It soundеd like a backpack being unzipped
The atmosphere was awful, and I’ll never forget
I don’t think I’m forgiven, certainly not yet

[Chorus]
Hot on my tail
Hot on my tail
I’m sorry everybody
But I’ve got something hot on my tail
[Break]

[Verse 3]
“How could you do this dreadful thing to me
That’s the last time I let you cook on our anniversary”
To rescue the evening, I tried to no avail
’Cause there was something sinister, hot on my tail

[Chorus]
Hot on my tail
Hot on my tail
I’m sorry everybody
But I’ve got something hot on my tail
I’m sorry everybody
But I’ve got something hot on my tail
