Marie has set up
home with a man
who's half my age
A half-wit in a leotard
stands on my stage
The standards
have fallen,
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
Some walk like
they own the place
whilst others
creep in fear
So try if you can
to walk like a man
but you don't
come near
You've got to fly
like an eagle
Prowl like a lion
in Africa
Leap like a salmon
home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk
like a panther tonight
Walk like
a panther tonight
Your home town
just looks the same
like a derelict man who
has died out of shame
Like a jumble sale
left out in the rain
it's not good,
it's not right
The standards
have fallen,
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
Some walk like
they own the place
whilst others
creep in fear
So try if you can
to walk like a man
but you don't
come near
You've got to fly
like an eagle
Prowl like a lion
in Africa
Leap like a salmon
home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk
like a panther tonight
Walk like
a panther tonight
Where did you leave
your self respect?
You look like a reptile
Your house is
a wreck
Your existence an insult
and stains that
are suspect
cover your clothes
The standards
have fallen,
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
Some walk like
they own the place
whilst others
creep in fear
So try if you can
to walk like a man
but you don't
come near
You've got to fly
like an eagle
Prowl like a lion
in Africa
Leap like a salmon
home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk
like a panther tonight
Walk like
a panther tonight
Walk like
a panther tonight.....
Walk like
a panther tonight....
Walk like
a panther tonight
Walk like
a panther tonight
Walk like
a panther tonight....
