But I’ve only got two legs!

I recently rediscovered the track Walk Like A Panther – the All Seeing I version. Ended up buying the album, Pickled Eggs and Sherbet. The album’s pretty good.
I just like this song. The Tony Christie version is the best.
Marie has set up home
With a woman half my age
A half-wit in a leotard
Stands on my stageThe standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don’t shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fearSo try if you can
To walk like a man
But if 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 tonightThe old 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 rightThe standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don’t shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fearTry if you can
To walk like a man
But if 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 tonightWhere 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 clothesThe standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don’t shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fearTry if you can
To walk like a man
But if 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…
