The Lyrics
It’s a mandibles sound that chews my nerves:
“Maneater, maneater, maneater, maneater.”
It a chew-you-up sound; she’s got verve as emotion swerves.
Maneater, maneater, maneater, maneater.
Maneater,
I tell you: that girl’s a maneater.
She plays a toothy game
I thought I was her flame,
but she’s. . .
Maneater,
I’ve been ripped by that girl maneater
By that name’s she’s renowned;
she treats me like ground round,
or cheese.
Maneater.
Like a cat, with you she is playing,
and your heartstrings she soon will be fraying.
Maneater,
she eschews and chews me, Maneater,
And I have just found a portmanteau word:
Man[goo]d[ed]ible.
“Maneater, maneater, maneater, maneater.”
It a chew-you-up sound; she’s got verve as emotion swerves.
Maneater, maneater, maneater, maneater.
Maneater,
I tell you: that girl’s a maneater.
She plays a toothy game
I thought I was her flame,
but she’s. . .
Maneater,
I’ve been ripped by that girl maneater
By that name’s she’s renowned;
she treats me like ground round,
or cheese.
Maneater.
Like a cat, with you she is playing,
and your heartstrings she soon will be fraying.
Maneater,
she eschews and chews me, Maneater,
And I have just found a portmanteau word:
Man[goo]d[ed]ible.
