About the Artist
Lyrics
Leaves are rustling Rustling in the sultry evening breeze aaaahh I don't wear pyjamas Trust me darling you won't need that chemise I know it's hard to love a man like me But you do so with the greatest of ease We created tender love from scratch Don't you think it's time we made another batch Oh lay down with me Barbara Underneath the candelabra Lay down with me Barbara Or I will die I will surely die Who needs moonlight Moonlights rubbish anyway my dear When the clouds obscure it I'll look upon you 'neath the chandelier Let us not waste a precious moment blindly Fumbling with the clasp of your brassiere We created tender love from scratch Don't you think it's time we made another batch Oh lay down with me Barbara Underneath the candelabra Lay down with me Barbara Or I will die I will surely die Lay down with me Barbara Underneath the candelabra Lay down with me Barbara Or I will die I will surely die Just bury me Barbara Bury me in a coffin full of money And I'll love you throughout the afterlife I love you girl
