| 作曲 : Costello | |
| There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth | |
| I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out | |
| Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist | |
| 'Cause there's no ventilation on a critical list | |
| Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist | |
| Strict time | |
| Toughen up, toughen up, keep your lip buttoned up | |
| Strict time | |
| Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl | |
| And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl | |
| (Strict time) | |
| Oh he's all hands, don't touch that dial | |
| The courting cold wars weekend witch trial | |
| (Strict time) | |
| All the boys are straight laced and the girls are frigid | |
| The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid | |
| 'Cause it's strict time | |
| (Strict time) | |
| Toughen up, toughen up, keep your lip buttoned up | |
| Strict time | |
| You talk in hushed tones, I talk in lush tones | |
| Try to look Italian through the musical Valium | |
| (Strict time) | |
| Thinking of grand larceny | |
| Smoking the everlasting cigarette of chastity | |
| Cute assistants staying alive | |
| More like a hand job than the hand jive | |
| Strict time | |
| Toughen up, toughen up, keep your lip buttoned up | |
| Strict time |
