Don’t Go, Don’t Cry Songtext
von Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

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'.
