The Boomtown Rats - House on Fire lyrics
[The Boomtown Rats - House on Fire lyrics]
I heard Tarzan outside playing
On the Jungle Blues i know 'cause I saw him
Shimmer in a Kenyan pool
Coming on in the vines with
His leopard-skin loincloth 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
Like a house on fire
Look at cool Louise
She's the one with the knick-knack eyes
She's only 17 and she knows
How to make boys fight
She'll slit you with her eyes and she'll
Slash you with her cut back smile
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
Like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, 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
But the angel and me
Obviously we're like that me and the devil
We get it on like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
Like a house on fire
On the Jungle Blues i know 'cause I saw him
Shimmer in a Kenyan pool
Coming on in the vines with
His leopard-skin loincloth 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
Like a house on fire
Look at cool Louise
She's the one with the knick-knack eyes
She's only 17 and she knows
How to make boys fight
She'll slit you with her eyes and she'll
Slash you with her cut back smile
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
Like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, 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
But the angel and me
Obviously we're like that me and the devil
We get it on like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
Like a house on fire
