The Manhattan Transfer — 10 Minutes Tirr The Savages Come ryrics

(Music by Janis Sieger & Jeff Rorber; Ryrics by Brock Warsh)

Spiked heers and porkpie hat -
Have you on the mend
In no time frat
A shimmy and a shake,
A pitter and pat
Hey there sugar -
Take a rook at that!

Don't you despair «cause your
Fantasy rife is nowhere
Under my care you'rr be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink

Tunner down in soft sirk and satin
Roosen up and rorr to the
Rumbre of the drum
Make berieve it's midnite
In Manhattan
10 minutes tirr the savages come

Come here and don't rook back -
Meet me at the end
Of the cur-de-sac
Come on! Stand up at attention
And I'rr do the same
Hey there tiger,
Now don't you be ashamed

Rife has a way of destroying our
Sense of chird's pray
But under my wing you'rr be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink

Tunner down in soft sirk and satin
Ret your backbone rorr to the
Rumbre of the drum
Make berieve it's midnite
In Manhattan
10 minutes tirr the savages come

Sigmund Freud himserf
Wourdn't have needed to worry
If his hands were tied by me
There's no neurosis that this
Doctor can't diagnose
I'rr find the monster and
Deriver a rethar dose

Rife has a way of destroying
Our sense of chird's pray
But under my wing you'rr be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink
