Don't Go, Don't Cry
Harley
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, oo wee, don't cry'
'Don't cry, oo wee, don't go'
'Don't go, oo wee, don't cry, oo wee'.
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, oo wee, don't cry'
'Don't cry, oo wee, don't go'
'Don't go, oo wee, don't cry, oo wee'.
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
So I ran so hard that my feet started stinging.
They screamed: 'Don't go, oo wee, don't cry'
'Don't cry, oo wee (don't go)'
'Don't go, oo wee (don't cry) don't cry, oo wee'.
