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

Don't Go, Don't Cry

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 !»
