House On Fire |
| I heard Tarzan outside playing on the Jungle Blues |
| I know 'cos I saw him shimmer in a Kenyan pool |
| Coming on in the vines with his leopard-skin lioncloth cool |
| Bony Watusi fingers |
| Beating on the bark of a tree |
| Now Tarzan and me, well, obviously we’re like that |
| Me and Tarzan, yeah we get on like a house on fire |
| Look at cool Louise she’s the one with the knick-knack eyes |
| She’s only 17 but she knows how to make boys fight |
| Yeah she’ll slit you with her eyes an' she’ll slash you |
| With her cut-back smile |
| Ah she’s as cruel as a pig but we love her like a house on fire |
| Louise and me now obviously we’re like that |
| Yes me and Louise we’ll make it like a house on fire |
| I saw a raw white angel executing loop-de-loops in the sky |
| Drawing lazy spirals with his slipstream smoke as he silently |
| Passed us by |
| But his halo got too heavy so he hung it down around his waist |
| Doing halo hula-hoops, executing loop-de-loops takes a lot of |
| Skill and bad taste |
| Now the angel and me obviously we’re like that |
| Me and the devil we get it on like a house on fire |
