Steve Harley - DON'T GO, DON'T CRY lyrics

rate me

I was a drifter in a rock 'n' roll safari

took a fancy to an ape in Malawi

who kissed my head and my eyes went all starry

and so I ran and was screaming "Where the hell are we ?"

he begged : "Don't go, don't cry !"

There was a tiger I fought for the glory

the bloody battle was fierce and was gawry

was like a scene from a Kipling story

he sucked my blood like he's eating Tandoori

he yelled: "Don't go, don't cry !"

I took a plane and was greeted in England

by many people and my spine started tingling

they stole my time and they all started mingling

i ran so hard that my feet started stinging

they screamed: "Don't go, don't cry !"
