Pale, Pale,
Pubescent beasts Pubescent beasts
Roam through the streets Roam through the streets
And coffee-shops. And coffee-shops.
Their prey Their prey
Gather in herds Gather in herds
Of stiff knee-length skirts Of stiff knee-length skirts
And white ankle-socks. And white ankle-socks.
But while But while
They search for a mate They search for a mate
My type hibernate My type hibernate
In bedrooms above, In bedrooms above,
Composing their songs Composing their songs
Of love. Of love.

Young, Young,
Young,
Uniformed minds Uniformed minds
Uniformed minds
In uniformed lines In uniformed lines
In uniformed lines
And uniform ties And uniform ties
And uniform ties
Run round Run round
With trousers on fire With trousers on fire
And signs of desire And signs of desire
They cannot disguise They cannot disguise
While I While I
Try to find words Try to find words
As light as the birds As light as the birds
That circle above That circle above
To put in my songs To put in my songs
Of love. Of love.

Fate doesn’t hang on a wrong or right choice. Fate doesn’t hang on a wrong or right choice.
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice. Fortune depends on the tone of your voice.

So sing So sing
While you have time, While you have time
Let the sun shine Let the sun shine
Down from above Down from above
And fill you with songs And fill you with songs
Of love. Of love.

Fate doesn’t hang on a wrong or right choice.
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice. Fortune depends on the tone of your voice.

So let’s sing So let’s sing
While we still can, While we still can,
While the sun hangs While the sun hangs
High up above High up above
Wonderful songs Wonderful songs
Of love, Of love
Beautiful songs of love. Beautiful songs of love.
