Don't Go, Don't Cry lyrics

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 !";
