Goody Two Shoes

The single ‘Goody Two Shoes/Red Scab’ was credited to Adam and the Ants but was effectively a solo Adam Ant release (with Marco Pirroni as co-song writer and guitarist and ‘Merrick’ Hughes as drummer and producer). The album version of the song is a different mix to the single, which was released months before the album and not long after ‘Adam and the Ants’ the band had split up. This may explain the reason for the different credits. The massive popularity of Adam and the Ants would also have made the single a much bigger attraction to fans, which was vindicated with the song making it to the top of the UK charts.

With the heartbreak open So much you can't hide Put on a little makeup, makeup Make sure they get your good side, good side If the word's unspoken Gets stuck in your throat Send a treasure token, token Write it on a pound note, pound note Goody two, goody two, goody, goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody, goody two shoes Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow There must be something inside We don't follow fashion That'd be a joke You know we're going to set them, set them So everyone can take note, take note When they saw you kneeling Crying words that you mean Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green Goody two, goody two, goody, goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody, goody two shoes Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside No one's gonna tell me What's wrong and what's right Or tell me who to eat with, sleep with Or that I've won the big fight, big fight Look out, or they'll tell you You're a "Superstar" Two weeks, and you're an all-time legend I think the games have gone much too far If the word's unspoken Gets stuck in your throat Send a treasure token, token Write it on a pound note, pound note Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside he’s hidin’ Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside he’s hidin’ Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside he’s hidin’ Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside he's hidin' Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside
