La Flotte Americaine |
| I love those great big blue eyes |
| I love those laughter lines |
| Round about where an ill wind blows |
| That’s where for me it shines |
| And I have no inhibitions |
| That I wish to, put on |
| If I did what would I inhibit |
| A painting I’ve never done |
| And such is life as Ned once said |
| However let’s be clear |
| If you think that a noose round my neck |
| Makes a happy man of me |
| You’re barking up the wrong tree |
| And I hare those cold damp mornings |
| Despite a good night’s sleep |
| Stepping out when it’s still not light |
| Feels like I should retreat |
| And as for those glamour model types |
| Who when they strut their stuff |
| Look about as dressed as a naked chef |
| Making his powder puff |
| And while we’re on the subject |
| Where in God’s name have you been |
| I’ve been waiting around for hours |
| If you think it’s good for me |
| You’re backing up the wrong tree |
| And to the idiots who say for tusks |
| Killing elephants is not unjust |
| Don’t you wish a herd would come along |
| And overrule them |
| Can’t for the life of me see |
| How marksmen armed with guns |
| Think a man with a table leg |
| As threatening to either one |
| And yet as marksmen, surely |
| Assuming as I’ve said |
| That there is some doubt |
| They must take him out |
| Who do it in the head? |
| And such is life as Ned once said |
| However let’s be clear |
| If barking mad’s where you think I’m from |
| Take a little tip from me |
| You’re barking up the wrong tree |
