Tricky Gypsy Girl Lyrics

She'll sing you a sweet lullabye, until you fall asleep
Then she'll take all the things she doesn't think you need to keep
She'll softly whisper in your ear, all the things you want to hear
And her words you'll think are true, because they have delighted you

When she walks in the room, flowers you will smell
Intoxicating floral scents, you'll fall under her spell
Her beauty is like the sea, shimmering around
But like the sea she'll make you sick, when her waves come crashing down

La da da da, la da da da, ho hum, a ditty ditty ditty dum

She may be pretty
With hair full of curls
But don't let her fool you
She's a tricky gypsy girl

Then one day while by the bay, a sailor she did meet
His laughter and his kindness did sweep her off her feet
She opened up to him, because he was her only friend
And he convinced her to never steal again
She took him back into her bed, their passion lasted all night long
But when she woke at dawn, she realized he was gone
And the sailor was not the only thing missing from her home
For he had taken all the things the gypsy called her own

La da da da, la da da da, ho hum, a ditty ditty ditty dum

She may be pretty
With hair full of curls
But don't let her fool you
She's a tricky gypsy girl
