Events at Buckingham Palace, 9th July 1982 - Michael Fagan on the prowl!.

*PHILLIP MY DEAR* - (A man in me bedroom)
(Francisco / Devine)

Phillip my dear, last night I thought was you in here
Were did you go working for good old England
Missing out all the action
My dear do you know
There was a man in me bedroom
Wearing you shoe, trying on the royal costume
Dipping in the royal perfume
Ah telling you true
There was a man in me bedroom
Anxious for a rendezvous and I thought it was you

CHORUS

   He big just like you but younger
   He thick just like you but stronger
   He lingay like you but harder
   He lay-lay like you but badder
   A man in me bedroom
   He came on the bed doo-doo and I took him for you

The palace guard were playing hop-scotch in the yard
Abandon the throne me with this perfect stranger
The jewel was in danger
For I was alone
With a man in me bedroom
Loaded with brew
Yes this mal-odourus urchin
On top ah me bed was perching
Like a cock-a-too
A man in me bedroom
Sorry dear I misconstrued when I took him for you

In Buckingham, no one respond to the alarm
So this plunderer
Displayed inside me boudoir   
A tool made for agriculture
I stood there in awe
With a man in me bedroom
Seven feet or more
He told me come hither and foil
And all me good linen he soiled
He was so obscene
There was a man in me bedroom
So nasty and mean singing now God go save the Queen

Evidently I suffered great indignity
From this commoner
Instead of be free in London
He should be put in a dungeon
Under the tower
There was a man in me bedroom
Enjoying the view
This vicious immoral scoundrel
Son of a common mongrel
Scared me through and through
There was a man in me bedroom
Your input was overdue and I thought it was you.
