I'm waiting for a train I hope it
Doesn't rain I've never felt the
Same I'm going down the drain I
Feel a twinge of pain to cover
Up the stain that might be in my
Brain I've never felt the same it's
Like a window pane it's building
Up again like Tarzan said to
Jane he said the words I can't
Explain he said them time & time
Again & time & time again they
Echoed all around his tiny
Brain they drove the poor man half
Insane 'til all his strength began to
Wane he struggled simply to
Explain as Tarzan said to Jane
--
Seven years ago now how was
I to know I didn't let it
Show I wouldn't let it go it
Only goes to show that when you
Leave the show that no-one wants to
Know they'll let you dangle down
Below you'll never land a single
Blow you'll never wander to &
Fro no matter if you ebb &
Flow "E'en so here below
Below, & i-o, i-o, i-o"
It doesn't matter what you
Know it's only who you know
From your head down to your
Toe that the world is going to
Know a concrete friend or foe
--
Well now we're getting warm, we
All sing along to the
Hollow horn, it plays the words that
Prove to warn that he not busy
Dying's being born
You could say any
Port in any storm
But it's OK the darkest
Hour's 'fore the dawn
So when your
Bishop took my pawn
Oh I heard the
Hiss of Summer lawns
--
I said I'd do the Watusi if you
Try to seduce me, take the
Slow boat to China if I could
Just make you mine, I know you're
Out of my league
But you could
Liberate me
So get me
Out of this jungle darling I’m
Ready to rumble I want to
Grow old with you, have my last
Tango with you
