Jigsaw Puzzle Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 There's a tramp sittin' on my doorstep

2 Tryin' to waste his time

3 With his methylated sandwich

4 He's a walking clothesline

5 And here comes the bishop's daughter

6 On the other side

7 She looks a trifle jealous

8 She's been an outcast all her life

9 Me, I'm waiting so patiently

10 Lying on the floor

11 I'm just trying to do my jig-saw puzzle

12 Before it rains anymore

13 Oh the gangster looks so fright'ning

14 With his luger in his hand

15 When he gets home to his children

16 He's a family man

17 But when it comes to the nitty-gritty

18 He can shove in his knife

19 Yes he really looks quite religious

20 He's been an outlaw all his life

21 Me, I'm waiting so patiently

22 Lying on the floor

23 I'm just trying to do this jig-saw puzzle

24 Before it rains anymore

25 Me, I'm waiting so patiently

26 Lying on the floor

27 I'm just trying to do this jig-saw puzzle

28 Before it rains anymore

29 Oh the singer, he looks angry

30 At being thrown to the lions

31 And the bass player, he looks nervous

32 About the girls outside

33 And the drummer, he's so shattered

34 Trying to keep on time

35 And the guitar players look damaged

36 They've been outcasts all thier lives

37 Me, I'm waiting so patiently

38 Lying on the floor

39 I'm just trying to do this jig-saw puzzle

40 Before it rains anymore

41 Oh, there's twenty-thousand grandmas

42 Wave their hankies in the air

43 All burning up their pensions

44 And shouting, "It's not fair!"

45 There's a regiment of soldiers

46 Standing looking on

47 And the queen is bravely shouting,

48 "What the hell is going on?"

49 With a blood-curdling "tally-ho"

50 She charged into the ranks

51 And blessed all those grandmas who

52 With their dying breaths screamed, "Thanks!"

53 Me, I'm just waiting so patiently

54 With my woman on the floor

55 We're just trying to do this jig-saw puzzle

56 Before it rains anymore
