It’s a tragedy, my love is gone/Sorry, agony’s gaining ground/“I would have loved to come along with you some more/But you’re well-placed to know I’m always on the run”/How to be as fit as a fiddle?/I’m far the worst porridge in the dish of a hairsprayed poodle/And Simone was someone:/Both the apple, the pie and the apple pie/A thing that money can’t buy/Oh, things that money can’t buy/For this time only/As a substitute, I strike a balance/Between the chaos she left and dominance/I think I’ll never ever free myself/From her souvenir cos' what isn’t her everywhere ?/In the Sunday ev. Post, in my bowl of cereals/It’s just enough to drive me mad for the ferial/Love = Showtime serial !/And boys will be boys, will be toys and belong/To girls/As they are/Never too shy to ask for/Oh, things that money can’t buy/She used to call me from this phone booth downtown/Just before her homeward bound/You see, nothing beats love and it's worth my while/For me, Simone’s still someone.
