The Mad, Mad Moonlight - Steve Harley, Cockney Rebel

It was just like a dream, yeah a surreal scene, like a blue orange

I thought my senses had gone like I was writing a song about a foot-long syringe

(And she said :) 'Hello dear, it’s my party'

(And she said :) 'So I hope you’ll be smart, hee hee'

And I said: 'I don’t know but I think I’ll go fix me a stiff drink'.

So I sat there and stared because at first I was scared of this female Tarzan

And while she talked with the apes about champagne and grapes, I approached her

garden

(And she said :) 'Now, now, don’t try to leave me'

(And she said :) 'It's unfair to deceive me'

(And she said :) 'I could kill if you try to escape me, come upstairs,

my friend, ooh'.

Now I knew, I knew, I couldn’t be that mean

So I tried, yeah I really tried to please her but she was a big big big big

girl, big girl.

Hurled out the door, it was becoming more of a test of honour

Would I go?

Would I stay?

Could I do it all day and be a certain gonner?

(And she said :) 'Now you’re so young and tender'

(And she said :) 'And don’t be concerned with my gender'

'It was hard but I managed to send her way up to those, those fluffy white

clouds, oh yes I did'.

Oh take it close.

Oh it was hard on the brain but I would do it again for the satisfaction

She weighed two hundred and three but that was OK by me, it was lots of action

(And she said :) 'Shall we dance in the moonlight ?'

(And she said :) 'It would be so nice on a June night'

And I said: 'If it’s OK by you, I’ll just sit here and take me a rest'.
