House On Fire - The Boomtown Rats

I heard Tarzan outside playing on the Jungle Blues

I know 'cos I saw him shimmer in a Kenyan pool

Coming on in the vines with his leopard-skin lioncloth cool

Bony Watusi fingers

Beating on the bark of a tree

Now Tarzan and me, well, obviously we’re like that

Me and Tarzan, yeah we get on like a house on fire

Look at cool Louise she’s the one with the knick-knack eyes

She’s only 17 but she knows how to make boys fight

Yeah she’ll slit you with her eyes an' she’ll slash you

With her cut-back smile

Ah she’s as cruel as a pig but we love her like a house on fire

Louise and me now obviously we’re like that

Yes me and Louise we’ll make it like a house on fire

I saw a raw white angel executing loop-de-loops in the sky

Drawing lazy spirals with his slipstream smoke as he silently

Passed us by

But his halo got too heavy so he hung it down around his waist

Doing halo hula-hoops, executing loop-de-loops takes a lot of

Skill and bad taste

Now the angel and me obviously we’re like that

Me and the devil we get it on like a house on fire
