Hey boy, and I better warn you
to make your reservation
Your exit's overdue

I can only promise
he ain't the soul to laugh
I've known him long enough
to speak on his behalf

My old man's got a gun
And he knows you're a tricky one
She can't fail to make you run
And I don't need you
My old man's got a wife
And she loves him and her life
Silver tongue could be his strife
And I don't need you

Hey boy, don't let him fool you
I'll tell you somethin' about him,
gonna cool you

He'll get you in a corner
and make you really crawl
You'll never realize a man could feel so small

My old man's got a gun
And he knows you're a tricky one
He can't fail to make you run
And I don't need you
My old man's got a wife
And she loves him and her life
Silver tongue could be his strife
And I don't need you

I don't need you, I don't need you
Hey boy, I better warn you
Oh, to make your reservation
I don't need you, I don't need you
He's gonna cool you
Don't let him fool you...

彼女が取り上げたものとしては最初の John Farrar の作品です。
リフはアコースティック・ギターなのに、曲調がロックっぽくドラムスの力強さが印象的で、そのミスマッチさが魅力的だと言えます。
ボーカルもちょっと硬派なロック風で、他の曲とは明らかに違う歌い方をしています。

ちなみにこの曲は、1971年に既に TV で歌っているようです。
残念ながら口パクですが YouTube で見ることができます。
