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, ooh wee, don't cry' 'Don't cry, ooh wee, don't go' 'Don't go, ooh wee, don't cry, ooh 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, ooh wee, don't cry' 'Don't cry, ooh wee, don't go' 'Don't go, ooh wee, don't cry, ooh 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, ooh wee, don't cry' 'Don't cry, ooh wee (don't go)' 'Don't go, ooh wee (don't cry) don't cry, ooh wee'
