Lyrics

Marie has set up home with a woman 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 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 The old hometown 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 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 like 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 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 To keep up with me You've got to walk like a panther To keep up with me You've got to walk like a panther To keep up with me You've got to walk like a panther tonight Walk like a panther tonight
