Clare

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

Clare was born in New Orleans, fah-fu-fu-fum
she grew up in the bars of Bourbon Street
back in the days of Marie Laveau, la-la-la-la-la
she learnt the ways of that old voodoo-woo

and over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies
London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making love
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, fah-fu-fu-fum
I hear them making love
I hear them making love, ma-ma-moom
I hear them making love—
yeah-ah-yeah
