| Stopped off on a long drive. | |
| Down from the high country. | |
| Spent a long time sitting here, | |
| Long time counting hot miles. | |
| Ohh, oh i'd like a cup of black coffee and a piece of sweet cake. | |
| But the girl in the print dress doesn't want my money-- | |
| She won't take it: she says-- | |
| Oh she says. | |
| Oh she says i just know you're a leo, | |
| I can tell you've got a lion's heart. | |
| She went on in this way for a while, | |
| Like some 60's sister playing a part. | |
| Ohh this cup of black coffee gonna do me just fine. | |
| Through the dust in the mirror tiles i can see that door, | |
| Keep it close behind. | |
| Oh she says. | |
| She says, come on over to my house, | |
| Make a journey here sometime. | |
| You know there's a party going on, | |
| A ladder in my stocking you can climb, | |
| There's a ladder you can climb. | |
| Oh she looked so liberated. | |
| She was looking fit to start. | |
| She got this back to front and sideways, | |
| Wore her sleeve upon her heart. | |
| Ohhh, oh, just one more coffee's 'bout all i can take. | |
| Have to do a truck stop runner now. | |
| I'm not man enough to make it, | |
| She says. | |
| She says. | |
| Oh she says. | |
| She says, come on over to my house, | |
| Make a journey here sometime. | |

| Kick off those tired sports shoes-- | |
| Got a ladder in my stocking you can climb, | |
| There's a ladder you can climb. | |
