Artful Dodger (Missy Armstrong)

Artful Dodger

Polished and persuasive- elusive and evasive
Leaving a trail of broken hearts along the way
Stylish and sprightly- with a different woman nightly
But I won’t be a pawn in the game you play

Artful dodger- artful dodger
Every tale you tell- ends with a twist
Artful dodger- artful dodger
Trying like the dickens to arrange another tryst

Cavalier and charming- devilish and disarming
Dancing and romancing then running fancy free
Dapper and dandified- but none of the tricks you’ve tried
Are ever gonna work with the likes of me

Artful dodger- artful dodger
Every tale you tell- ends with a twist
Artful dodger- artful dodger
Trying like the dickens to arrange another tryst

A quintessential ne’er do well
You weave your web and cast a spell
But mine won’t be a name- you add to your list

Artful dodger- artful dodger
Every tale you tell- ends with a twist
Artful dodger- artful dodger
Trying like the dickens to arrange another tryst
