Frankie Lee - Leo Sayer

On every corner of every avenue

The word’s been passed all around

You’d better watch out, lock up your daughters

'Cos that bad Frankie Lee is back in town

All the ladies fall for Frankie

Saying, «Frankie Lee, how can it be

Of all the men here, you’re the only one

Who’s got the key, to set us free

Oh, Frankie Lee»

Now there’s a woman, in this neighbourhood

Who’s loving Frankie in her mind

But in fear of being' discovered

She keeps her secret locked up inside

Just then a stone’s thrown up at the window

And she looks below, what does she see

There’s a man there, standing 'neath the streetlight

It looks to be

Like Frankie Lee

You’d best believe

Well, old Frankie Lee steals through the back door

While her old man is leavin' by the hall

But before she hears his footsteps

Frankie’s standing at the bedroom door

So she holds him, then she begs him

Oh Frankie Lee, don’tcha ever leave

And he tells her, she’s the only one

He’s got the key

That Frankie Lee

To set her free

Then as the moon fades, into the night sky

Frankie leaves while she’s asleep

Then he’s up and out on the street again

He’s got the key that’ll set you free

That Frankie Lee

Every kid in this ol' gang-town

Yeah, they’d want to be like Frankie Lee

Please the ladies, like a vagabond

He’s got the key

That Frankie Lee

To set them free

Yeah, every kid in this ol' gang-town

Yeah, they’d want to be like Frankie Lee

Casanova and Valentino

They’d like to be good as Frankie Lee

Every kid in this ol' gang-town

They’d like to be like Frankie Lee

Please the ladies, live like a vagabond

He’s got the key

To set you free

That Frankie Lee
