My Little Genie


He wasn’t hiding in a lamp

So he didn’t need a rub

No message in a bottle

I met him in the pub


Playing a blinder on the drums

That man, he sure had rhythm

I’d drank so many bottles

Sure I could barely see him

Highly intoxicated, sitting at the bar

When the gig was over

I wanted another jar

Soon he came to chat to me

I tried to look real cool

Leaning too far forward

Almost falling off the stool


Now way back in the day

Storm was the place to go

Many of you are far too young

To remember it I know

Being the lady that I am

I invited him along

Full of Smirnoff Ice

What could possibly go wrong?


Down the street I toddled

Holding on to him

Trying to walk the line

My legs were giving in

At last we reached the door

And Storm it was buzzing

I was feeling queasy now

From the bottles I’d been guzzling


We sat for a while

Then he asked me to dance

A slow number was playing

So I took up my stance

Head was quite dizzy

Swept away by his charms

Why was I feeling this way

In his arms ?


Back to his house

For a nice cup of tea

Afraid of my life he was

Going to seduce me

I went to the bathroom

And saw his jacuzzi

I wondered if he thought

I was some kind of floozy


Fast forward now

To twenty years on

My little genie and I

Are still going strong

He stands small and cute

My idea of Heaven

Just the right size

At four foot eleven


So all you young ladies

Who go out at night

Don’t worry about getting drunk

For you just might

Find your own little genie

At the bottom of a bottle

So give it socks

And go full throttle !
