Strip Cartoon |
Fish and chips, sandpaper lips and a rainy pavement |
Soho lights, another night --- thinking of you |
Black cat, sat on a wall, winks at me darkly |
Suggesting ways and means that I might win a smile --- |
As you leave the place where you work until 12.30 |
And the policemen nods as you pass along his beat |
Sweaty feet, troubled brow -- we’re all in the same game, lady |
Life’s no bowl of cherries --- it’s a black and white strip cartoon |
I’ve been warned that you and your friends are crazy |
As from your hearts you bare your parts to the gentlemen |
Who, while they drool, trying to keep cool, spill their Scotch and water |
But I’m not that way, I must say --- I’d much prefer to see you in your |
texturised rubber rainwear around 12.30 |
Come and play shades of grey in my black and white strip cartoon |
Strip cartoon is all I’m after |
Strip cartoon is all I crave --- |
So come to my place around 12.30 |
'cos I’m a leading politician at a dangerous age |
Name | Year |
