The Ballad of Alice and Sam

from A Jester's Life by ernie c ernst

/

lyrics

strike a match baby, i'll strike a pose
put on your best suit sugar, i'll put on my pantyhose
be my lover, i'll be your clown
be unguarded, i'll knock you down
be a drama queen, i'll be a laugh a minute
be a bathroom, i'll be the bathtub in it

calling, like a wounded dove
falling, into a little love

be my shepherd, i'll be your flock
watch the water boil, i'll watch the clock
be my angel, i'll be your gabriel
be a bucket, i'll be the water in the well

calling, like a wounded dove
falling, into a little love

i'll be your napoleon if you'll be my josephine
be my marc antony, i'll be your eqyptian queen
be a little late, i'll be a little worried
be breathless on the phone, i'll be sure and hurry

take the backseat honey, i'll take the wheel
teach me to pray, i'll teach you to steal
be a lion, i'll be a lamb
call me alice, i'll call you sam
