Standing at the Corner

I was standing at the corner
Like a good girl should--
When a man came along
Like I knew he would.

I didn't know his name
But he smiled at me--
Now listen and I'll tell you
What he did to me

I went home to my flat
Like a good girl should--
And the man followed me
Like I knew he would.

I went into my bedroom
And he smiled at me--
Now listen and I'll tell you
What he did to me.

I put on my nightie
Like a good girl should--
He ripped it off my back
Like I knew he would.

I got into bed
And he smiled at me--
Now listen and I'll tell you
What he did to me

I lay on my side
Like a good girl should--
He put me on my back
Like I knew he would.

I didn't know his name
But he smiled at me--
AND IT'S NONE OF YOUR BLOODY BUSINESS
WHAT HE DID TO ME!

Students' song. The last two lines of the last
verse are shouted.
