Clare

and over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies
London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making love, va-va-va-hmm
I hear them making love

my baby’s love is called Clare
serpentine seductress, I can’t compare
my baby’s love is merciless to me, fah-fa-fu-fum
wailing like a hussy and laughing drunkenly

and over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies
London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making love, va-va-va-voom
I hear them making love

Clare was born in New Orleans, yeah
she grew up in the bars of... Bourbon Street
back in the days of Marie Laveau, br-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
she learnt the ways of that old voodoo-oo-woo

and over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies
London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making, va-va-va-va-vum
I hear them making love

and over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies
London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making love, fa-fa-fa-fa-fum
I hear them making love, da-va-va-va
I hear them making love, fa-va-va
I hear them making love, fa-va-va
{spoken:} he was going through [on a rooftop] (?)
I hear them making love, da-va-va-va
I hear them making tpt sounds
