Fully Qualified to be your man

Richard Thompson


I don't want to be your friend anymore 
You've got fifty friends knocking at your door 
Life is short so please understand 
I'm fully qualified to be your man 

You know zoology is up my street 
And your anatomy is far from discreet 
I'm good and ready for my entrance exam 
I'm fully qualified to be your man 

I've been studying your every need 
I've got statistics that'll make you plead 
I'll put my thesis right in your hand 
I'm fully qualified to be your man 

Maroon room, perfumes of Araby 
Sineads in braids in shades of Carnaby 

Now there's diplomas you can get in the mail 
And there's diplomas you can get in jail 
But I'm a genius at being your fan 
I'm fully qualified to be your man 

Crystal balls and shawls and lava lamps 
I'm a counter culture vulture 
Don't put the damps on me 

Now you're my favorite subject or two 
I've been really boning up on you 
Let me know when it's safe to land 
I'm fully qualified to be your man
