Marie has set up

home with a man

who's 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

So 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

Your 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 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

So 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 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

So 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

Walk like

a panther tonight.....

Walk like

a panther tonight....

Walk like

a panther tonight

Walk like

a panther tonight

Walk like

a panther tonight....
