Verse 1:
Pale, pubescent beasts,
Roam through the streets and coffee-shops.
Their prey gather in herds,
Of stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle-socks.
But while they search for a mate,
My type hiber-nate, in bedrooms a-bove,
Com-posing their songs, of love.

Verse 2:
Young, uniform minds, in uniform lines and uniform ties.
Run round, with trousers on fire,
And signs of de-sire they cannot dis-guise.
While I, try to find words,
As light as the birds, that circle a-bove,
,
To put in my songs, of love.
Bridge 1:
Dm7b5
Fate doesn t hang on a wrong, or right choice.
Dm7b5
Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.
Verse 3:
So sing while, you have time,
Let the sun shine, down from a-bove;
And fill you with songs, of love.
