Steampunk Addie eyes


I heard a catchy tune this weekend I thought I'd share with you since some people find my eyes creepy.
My hair is Harlem gold,
My lips a sweet surprise
My hands are never cold
I've got Steampunk Addie eyes
I'll turn the music on
And you won't have to think twice
I'm pure as New York snow
I've got Steampunk Addie eyes

And I'll tease you

I'll unease you
All the better just to please you
I'm precocious
And I know just what it
Takes to make a crow blush
I've got Greta Garbo stand-off sighs,
I've got Steampunk Addie eyes
(I've got Steampunk Addie eyes)

I'll
let you take me home
It whets my appetite
I'll sit you on my throne
I've got Steampunk Addie eyes
I'll take a tumble with you
I’ll roll you like you were dice
Until I find a clue
I've got Steampunk Addie eyes

I'll expose you

When I roll you
Off your feet with the crumbs that I throw you
I'm precocious
And I know just what it
Takes to make a crow blush
All the boys think I'm a spy,
I've got Steampunk Addie eyes

Greta Garbo stand-off sighs,
I've got Steampunk Addie eyes
Oh, Steampunk Addie eyes
I've got Steampunk Addie eyes
Bette Davis Eyes, 1974
with apologies to Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon

The phrase "could make a crow blush" was an early 20th century Midwestern expression meaning that someone could make another uneasy with little effort.

As a spy, I like to think I could at least make a crow uneasy.
