My baby's love is called Clare Serpentine seductress, I can't compare My baby's love is merciless to me Wailing like a hussy and laughing drunkenly And over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines I hear them making love I hear them making love Clare was born in New Orleans She grew up in the bars of Bourbon Street Back in the days of Marie Laveau She learnt the ways of that old voodoo And over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines I hear them making love I hear them making love And over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines I hear them making love I hear them making love I hear them making love I hear them making love I hear them making love I hear them making love I hear them making love
