Steve Harley - Don't Go, Don't Cry lyrics

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 s**ed 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 !"
