A fellow performer once told us this would make a great song for a tampon ad. Thanks, I think. Loz wrote it on a borrowed notebook at a pub full of swing dancers, which would explain the snappy beat, jazz band break and eyebrow-up lead track. It would not, however, explain the Michael Jackson-style chords in the verses, or the Billy Joel keychange in the bridge. But hey.

Lyrics:

I know a girl with a knack for foolin' around
I know a girl who can pick me up when I'm down
Oh my God, that grin
Look at the mess we're in
She'll get off scot-free
But where does that leave me?

She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
There's an angel on her shoulder but the devil there is bolder
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And she's mine

Don't take offense, there's a twinkle there in her eye
Don't take her on, 'cause she'll eat you up if you try
She's playing the fool
And breaking all the rules
She'll flash those pearly whites
And everything's alright

She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
There's an devil on her shoulder and she'll do just what he told 'er
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And she's mine

And I
Pick up the tab and I try
Vainly to half-justify
What she just said to that guy
And it's a pain
I just agree she's insane
She'll probably do it again
Still I know that I
Can't buy that kind of entertainment

She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And if she's acting quiet there's about to be a riot
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And she's mine

She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
There's an angel on her shoulder, all he ever does is scold her
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And she's mine
