"Peter" lyrics

Way back when before my favourite songs
I heard a little group was playing Casey Jones
Was a really silly place to put a saxophone
But Peter made them change their minds
The wheels got rolling and the names got strange
The dark's got barking and the faces changed
Different hands were holding different reins
To different destinations

He purred like a kitten and howled at the moon
His fingers were smitten with pistols at noon
Most man's arms and legs can only move
But he'll sing like a bird and dance like a firefly
Most man's arms and legs can only move
But Peter leaves 'em all behind

All this jabbing takes your breath away
And plagues white noses on a rainy day
But fresh fruit and fish it will let truth gets plain
Peter leaves it all behind

All those naughty thoughts were out of sight
Brown french kisses on a humble flight
Light up the heavens on a starlit night
Peter left 'em all behind

He purred like a kitten and howled at the moon
His fingers were smitten with pistols at noon
Most man's arms and legs can only move
But he'll sing like a bird and he'll dance like a firefly
Most man's arms and legs can only move
But Peter leaves 'em all behind

Most man's arms and legs can only move
But Peter leaves it all behind
