Verse 1 My lady's a beauty but she's a bit daft If not for her bosom she'd confuse fore for aft. When she called my ship a boat I felt some dismay But when she called my gears cogs I couldn't let it slip away.
Chorus A gear may have cogs but a cog is not a gear. Like a queen may have a crown but a crown makes not a queen. All gears may have cogs but no cog is a gear. Some things go together but they are not the same thing.
Verse 2 My lady's so lovely but she's a bit dim. If I don't open the door she'd never find her way in. We've courted for months but she can't recall my name Calling me "that fellow" rather throws me off my game.
Chorus A gear may have cogs but a cog is not a gear. Like a king may have a crown but a crown makes not a king. All gears may have cogs but no cog is a gear. Some things go together but they are not the same thing.
Verse 3 My lady's not brilliant but she's got some sass When she caught me with her sister she booted me in the ass. I know a bastard when I see one, she angrily said. For once in her life she hit the nail on the head.
Chorus 3 A gear may have cogs but a cog is not a gear. Like a king without a queen is not much of a king. All gears may have cogs but no cog is a gear. Some things without each other don't mean a damn thing.
