Sparks - Don't Shoot Me Lyrics

(Ron & Russell Mael)

I am a rhino
Plodding the jungle
Dinnertime's here and
"Baby I'm home"
Me and my baby
We are so happy
Then I smell vinyl
"Darling, let's run!"

Chorus:
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down

I am a hippo
Sloshing through mud and Work is now over
"Baby, I'm home"
Isn't she lovely
Makes me feel comfy
Then I smell Jeeps and
"Darling, let's run!"

Chorus

Chorus

I'm a poor slob from
Reno, Nevada
I am a hunter of
Rhinos and hippos
Then I come home from Months in the bush
I'm tired, I'm weary
"Darling, I'm home"
"Darling, darling, what's wrong?"
"Darling, darling, what's wrong?"
"Darling, darling, who's he?"

Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down, down
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down, down, down
Nice shooting
Nice shooting, dear, dear, dear, dear
Nice shooting,
Nice shooting, dear
