| I like the trees and the birds and the bees
|
| I’m a sucker for peace and quiet
|
| But two weeks alone in this sweet little home
|
| And I feel like starting a riot
|
| I’ve been stuck in this old house too long
|
| I need a little change of atmosphere
|
| Let’s go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here
|
| I greet the day in my usual way
|
| On my brow there’s one more wrinkle
|
| I can’t speak, I ain’t shaved in a week
|
| And I look like Rip Van Winkle
|
| We’ve got people in this neighbourhood
|
| Who’ve been sleeping for a thousand years
|
| Let’s go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here
|
| Let’s take a train, or a boat and a plane
|
| And go all the way to China
|
| Let’s stay alive till a hundred and five
|
| Well nothing could be finer
|
| I want to make sweet love to you, beneath a silver moon
|
| Same old scene on the T.V. screen
|
| There’s an inner city burning
|
| It’s dog eat dog, live high on the hog
|
| But the lady’s not for turning
|
| We’ve got violence on the picket lines
|
| And police in their riot gear
|
| Let’s go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here
|
| Let’s take a train, or a boat and a plane
|
| And go all the way to China
|
| Let’s stay alive till a hundred and five
|
| Well nothing could be finer
|
| I want to make sweet love to you, beneath a silver moon
|
| I like the trees and the birds and the bees
|
| I’m a sucker for peace and quiet
|
| But two weeks alone in this sweet little home
|
| And I feel like starting a riot
|
| Let’s take a trip up north, to Sauchiehall Street
|
| And wish everyone a happy new year
|
| Let’s go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here
|
| Let’s go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here
|
| Let’s go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here
|
