You Are A Jaguar
Patrick Cannell © 2024
When I first met you I was enchanted
By the badly drawn tattoos around your neck
But now you're moving in different circles
And spend your evenings in the halls of the elect.
You met your master by Caesar's Palace
And it seemed to me he had the upper hand
But now you're moving in different circles
And there is something you must understand.
You are a jaguar you are.
You are a jaguar you are you are a jaguar.
Your marble statues are laughing at you,
It makes no difference now that you're a star.
And remember this lad, you are a jaguar, at least I think you are.
Take a look at yourself, hob nobbing with your fancy friends,
Washing your feet in champaign and eating sardines at cocktail parties.
Spare a thought for the hard working folk who paid for your education.
Now cousin Mandy thinks you're a dandy,
It's that silken handkerchief upon your head.
'Cause now you're moving in different circles,
With pink and crimson curtains round your bed.
You are a jaguar you are.
You are a jaguar you are you are a jaguar.
Your set designer knows you're a liar.
What exactly do you think you are?
You are a jaguar you are.
You are a jaguar you are you are a jaguar.
Your light fantastic is somewhat plastic,
It makes no difference now that you're a star.
