Ran-Tan Waltz
(original title, The Ran Tan)
B-side of Babooshka single
Written by Kate Bush
Bm Em
Where is she
Am
When the little thing cries?
D Bm
She lies in a bed
Em
With a friend of mine.
Bm Em
But some nights
Am
She'll run back in fright
D Bm
If she picks on a dick
Em
That's too big for her pride.
Am Bm
Oh! Oh!
C Em Am
Why did I ever go marry her?
Bm Em
I was a child!
G Dm
I'm holding the baby,
G Dm
She's ran-tanning constantly.
C Bm Em
She saw me coming for miles.
C Bm Em
She saw me open wide.
(Repeat verse)
Four o'clock
And the key's in the lock.
And she's been on the wink
And she's stinking of drink.
Wakes the kid,
So I put him to sleep,
And she's in there all night,
Doubled over the sink.
Oh! Oh!
Why did I ever go marry her?
I was a child!
I'm holding the baby,
She's ran-tanning constantly.
C Bm Em
She saw me coming for miles.
C Bm Em
She saw me open wide.
C Bm Em
Open wide.
