Lyrics Mental As Anything – Shake Off Your Sandals

What a lovely way to spend the afternoon
With you lying
On my belly
Taxi to the station’s coming way too soon

Nobody knows
What you do to me, honey
Shake off your sandals
And come back to bed
It passes the time
And saves lots of money
Blow out the candles
And come back to bed

We could stay together ’til the cows come home
Oh, nothing
Would be greater
Disconnect the doorbell and the telephone
Put the world off
Until later

Nobody knows
What you do to me, honey
Shake off your sandals
And come back to bed
It passes the time
And saves lots of money
Blow out the candles
And come back to bed

You don’t have to love me
You don’t have to say

You don’t have to love me
You don’t have to say
Just live for the moment
Just live for today
We’re not in a workhouse
We’re not in a jail
We’re rolling around
Just two eggs in a pail

What a lovely way to spend the afternoon
With you lying
On my belly
The taxi to the station’s coming way too soon
And there’s nothing
On the telly

You live above an empty shop
On such a busy street
It’s hard to find the number
‘Cause the sign is incomplete
I remember years ago
I hungered over you
Now I get to do the things
I’ve always wanted to

Nobody knows
What you do to me, honey
Shake off your sandals
And come back to bed
It passes the time
And saves lots of money
Blow out the candles
And come back to bed

Shake off your sandals
Blow out the candles
Shake off your sandals
And come back to bed
