the ballad of mad dogs and englishmen

let me see here. kids

planes

runway strikes

flashy pimps and family fights

spotted dogs

blood-shot eyes

our space captain laughs and tries

to understand the scheme of things

but just in time the scene has changed

the bus is here

bring the beer

sherman's reading shakespeare

movie makers

boobie shakers

and saxy airplane ticket takers

union members

leo fender's pride and joy - electric toy

teachers

learners

incense burners

religious leaders and chronic bleeders

thieves and pirates on a ride

it's a hippie commune bonafied

life and time

war death dealers

rock pop correspondence fever

but okies and limeys

curtain climbers

stones and future dominoes

know which way the wind blows

stolen cola no one knows

the shadow do

but it's still a shady crew

'cause i love her

and she loves you

just myself and forty friends

in the name of cocker power

out here on the road again

with mad dogs and englishmen
