THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "10 Minutes Till The Savages Come"

(Music by Janis Siegel & Jeff Lorber; Lyrics by Brock Walsh)
Spiked heels and porkpie hat -
Have you on the mend

In no time flat
A shimmy and a shake,
A pitter and pat

Hey there sugar -
Take a look at that!


Don't you despair «cause your
Fantasy life is nowhere
Under my care you'll be

Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink


Tunnel down in soft silk and satin
Loosen up and roll to the
Rumble of the drum

Make believe it's midnite
In Manhattan
10 minutes till the savages come


Come here and don't look back -
Meet me at the end

Of the cul-de-sac
Come on! Stand up at attention
And I'll do the same

Hey there tiger,
Now don't you be ashamed


Life has a way of destroying our
Sense of child's play
But under my wing you'll be

Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink


Tunnel down in soft silk and satin
Let your backbone roll to the
Rumble of the drum

Make believe it's midnite
In Manhattan
10 minutes till the savages come


Sigmund Freud himself
Wouldn't have needed to worry

If his hands were tied by me
There's no neurosis that this
Doctor can't diagnose

I'll find the monster and
Deliver a lethal dose


Life has a way of destroying
Our sense of child's play
But under my wing you'll be

Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink


[Repeat 1st Chorus]
[Repeat 1st Verse]
