Marie has set up home With a man who's half my age A halfwit 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 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 The old hometown just looks the same Like a derelict man who had 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 Try if you can to walk like a man But you, 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 all self-respect? You look like a reptile, your house is a wreck Your existence an insult 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 Try if you can to walk like a man But you, 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 You've got to walk like a panther Walk like a panther tonight Tonight Tonight Walk like a panther tonight
