Tiger tim, the tightrope walker,
Tried to steal, the dragons daughter,
Babe, I do mean, babe.
Menace lurks in houses only,
Where the hearts are fat and bony,
Babe, I do mean babe.
Golden risks and follys rainbow,
Down the drain where all the time goes,
Babe, I do mean babe.
Frozen joe the ballet boxer,
Chromed his toes to get his rocks oh
Babe, I do mean babe.
All the rats and all the peacocks,
Built a ship and flew to venus,
Babe, I do mean babe.
Pain is meat and meat is people,
Your head's a house, your soul the steeple,
Babe, I do mean babe.
Painted toes and purple earlobes,
Life's a gas but it's such a scene though,
Babe, I do mean babe.
Shake
Babe, I do mean babe,
I could tell you something,
I could tell you something,
Babe, I do mean babe.
