Spring and Bill the Bear is down in the old wood
Rooting out something to eat
Watch out for that coyote, Bill
Oh no!
That's scuppered Bill's supper for sure
She's staying around or else she's going away
It could be forever or it might be a day
Or maybe forever
I call her a mercury girl
She's building me up, and then she's knocking me down
Like a factory chimney in a northern town
And I am demolished
I call her a mercury girl
She never sees me 'til the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl
One day once when I got some time
I try to hold her, but she wouldn't be mine
She slipped through my fingers
And I missed the mercury girl
She came back to me with her mocking eyes
She told me she loved me, but it could have been lies
And life can be up and down
Life with a mercury girl
Life can be up and down
Life with a mercury girl
She never sees me 'til the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl
She's staying around or else she's going away
It could be forever or it might be a day
Or maybe forever
I call her a mercury girl
She's building me up, and then she's knocking me down
Like a factory chimney in a northern town
And I am demolished
I call her a mercury girl
And I am demolished
I call her a mercury girl
Life with a mercury girl
Life with a mercury girl
Life with a mercury girl
Life with a mercury girl
Spring and Bill the Bear is down in the old wood
Rooting out something to eat
Watch out for that coyote, Bill
Oh no!
That's scuppered Bill's supper for sure
