The Angel of Death

[Philip Copeman]

The Angel of Death

The angel of death took a Southern turn
To meet his devil friend.
Cape Town is a very good place
To party at worlds end.......

Michael won't you row the boat ashore
Can you see this soul is spent
April is a very good time
To call the end of Lent

Ayeeyah, Ayeeyah haho
Ayeeyah, Ayeeyah haho

Come said the Devil, the night is young
Cocktails on the beach.
By the time they hit the Waterfront
It was half a dozen each.

Ladies of the night come out to play,
I love to see you sweat.
Hey big spender won't you buy me a drink
And I'll see what you can get.

ROCK AND ROLL IS A NEW KIND OF SOUTHERN SOUND

YOU CAN BLUES IT WITH A BACKBEAT ON FOUR.

OH THE FIRST TIME I KISSED HER ,WE WERE OUT ON THE TOWN

TAKE ME TO YOU CAR AND I'LL GIVE YOU SOME MORE

CAN'T RESIST HER,
NOT MY SISTER
NEXT THING I REMEMBER WE WERE HEADING FOR THE DOOR....

Now it was April when we took Lord Jesus down
We can take this pair as well
So they drank up the Bottle and they hit the road
On the Journey into Hell!

Ayeeyah, Ayeeyah haho
Ayeeyah, Ayeeyah ha (CRASH)

So mothers won't your tell your children now
Not to do what they have done.
Don't go out in the Autumn Night,
Stay home till the rising sun.

Ayeeyah, Ayeeyah haho
Ayeeyah, Ayeeyah haho (fade)
