Don't Go, Don't Cry Lyrics - Steve 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, 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 !"
