No



Turned me down on a pate of ice

Through frozen, clear streams of blah, blah,blah

Idle talk, she's talking

Pentangle she can recollect

Lay the bent to the bonnie boon

All this talk of my disrespect



Refrain:

He said, "I respect your occupation

In this vacuum of stagnation

I understand the horror of your thought

What his knowledge of you brought"

He turned me down, he said,

"no, mama, no, mama, no,no,no"

He turned me down, he said,

"no, mama, no, mama, no,no,no"



Brought down from the level of idyllic class

She was crawlin' to "Big Daddy" over broken

glass-

She was turned down straight,

She's a woman turned to stone

He said, "Thankyou for your permission,

Ma'am, I have to, No"



Refrain:



Brought down from a trip of rainbow pain,

With nothin' real to live for

And only a life of her own to gain-

To see herself bein' left out in the rain

To have an awful feeling she had lived

And loved in vain.



Refrain:
