Robert Palmer

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer and songwriter. He was known for his powerful, soulful voice and sartorial elegance, and for his stylistic explorations, combining soul, funk, jazz, rock, pop, reggae, and blues.

You want her attention 
Well you'll have to wait 
She's in the gymnasium 
Reducing weight 
In shorts of a leotard 
Despite her age 
The girl's gonna exercise 
Your life away 
Sister don't you jog it all away 
Sister don't you run it all off 
Sister don't you jog it all away 
Sister don't you rough it all up 
What an idea of fun 
To get it on the run 
I don't know why you do 
What has come over you? 
The style in the discotheque 
Is cheap and nice 
Please tell Ms Fonda 
To reduce her price 
Anorexia nervosa mannequin 
All this physicality 
Will wear you thin 
Hey Olivia Newton-John 
What you say? 
Hey Olivia Newton-John 
What you say? 
She used to yield like flesh 
Now it's all muscle 
She used to yield like flesh 
Now it's all muscle 
I don't know why you do 
What has come over you 
What an idea of fun 
To get it on the run 
Roller skates and vitamins and diet plans 
Academic discipline will ruin your hands 
We used to ride tandem and have lots of fun 
But bicycles for exercise are made for one
