When The Swifts Come Home

Poor Billy Booth plays Brigadoon
While his cats prowl round the room
When it gets to the end you know he plays it again
Just 'cause he loves the tune
It's the most you will get from him, ah
It's the most you will get from him
Awake me when the Swifts come home
Awake me when the trees explode
It's the most you will get from me, ah
It's the most you will get from me
You know he was all eyes, me, me, I, I
'til the bottom just finally dropped out
Through a parade of styles, you know he was all smiles
'til he finally just closed up the shop
It's the most you will get from him, ah
It's the most you will get from him
Awake me when the Swifts come home
Awake me when the trees explode
It's the most you will get from me, ah
It's the most you will get from me
I was born with a tail
I chase it everywhere
Oh, tell me what you gonna do
I was born with a tail
I chase it everywhere
Tell me what you gonna do, ah
Tell me what you gonna do
It ain't romantic it's savage
and I think that I've had it
That's it that's it for me Bill
Here's a tip for you
You know I'm tried and true
You know I can be such a pill
It's the most you will get from me, ah
It's the most you will get from me
Awake me when the Swifts come home
Awake me when the trees explode
It's the most you will get from me, ah
It's the most you will get from me, yeah
