Don't Go, Don't Cry - Steve Harley, Cockney Rebel

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 !»
