Text Písně: Strip Cartoon - Jethro Tull

Fish and chips,
sandpaper lips
and a rainy pavement.

Soho lights,
another night
thinking of you.

Black cat,
sat on a wall,
winks at me darkly.

Suggesting ways
and means that
I might win a smile,
as you leave the place
where you work until 12.30
and the policemen nods
as you pass along his beat.

Sweaty feet,
troubled brow
we're all in the same game, lady.
Life's no bowl of cherries
it's a black and white strip cartoon.

I've been warned
that you and your friends are crazy
as from your hearts
you bare your parts to the gentlemen,
who, while they drool, trying to keep cool,
spill their Scotch and water.

But I'm not that way,
I must say I'd much prefer to see
you in your texturised rubber rainwear around 12.30.
Come and play shades of grey
in my black and white strip cartoon.

Strip cartoon is all I'm after.
Strip cartoon is all I crave,
so come to my place around 12.30
'cause I'm a leading politician
at a dangerous age.

Strip cartoon is all I'm after.
Strip cartoon is all I crave,
so come to my place around 12.30
'cause I'm a leading politician
at a dangerous age.

Strip cartoon, strip cartoon is all I'm after.
Strip cartoon is all I crave,
so come to my place around 12.30
'cause I'm a leading politician
at a dangerous age.
