Ginny went up to the city
Hanging around with a friend
Ginny went up to the city
She never came home again
And Ginny would rather be anywhere else but here, oh
Ginny would rather be anywhere else but here
And everyone’s tearing their feathers out over Ginny
But they won’t be tearing her feathers out any more, oh no
She said –
‘Show me where it says I gotta hang around this pond
I ain’t a fucking duckling, I’m a swan, I’m a swan
Show me where it says I gotta hang around this pond
I ain’t a fucking duckling, I’m a swan, I’m a swan,
I’m a swan – oh oh, I’m a swan
Oh oh, I’m a swan’
Ooh la, ooh la, etc.
Take a ride out to the water
Sit in the car and get high
Out in the street with a dollar
There isn’t a thrill you can buy
Everyone misses you, Ginny
I totaled the old Cavalier
It’s Saturday night again, Ginny
You’ve got to get me out of here
’Cause Ginny I’d rather be anywhere else but here
Oh, Ginny I’d rather be anywhere else but here
And everyone’s tearing my feathers out down here, Ginny
But they won’t be tearing my feathers out any more, oh no
Oh, show me where it says I gotta hang around this pond
I ain’t a fucking duckling, I’m a swan, I’m a swan
Show me where it says I gotta hang around this pond
I ain’t a fucking duckling, I’m a swan, I’m a swan
I’m a swan – oh oh, I’m a swan
Oh oh, I’m a swan
Ooh la, ooh la, etc.
Poor Tom went to the city
Hanging around with a friend
Poor Tom went to the city
He never came home again
He said ‘Ginny I’d rather be anywhere else but here
Oh, Ginny I’d rather be anywhere else but here’
