Jethro Tull - Salamander's Rag Time

[Luca Canetti]

The kettle's on, the milkman's been and gone.
Salamander's going round for some.
I haven't seen her now for about a month.
It's always the same: gives me the run-around.
Salamander's rag time;
So we'll sit in and watch the telly.
Turning both my knees to jelly,
But I really wouldn't mind.

I cunningly suggest a game of chess.
It is the game I like to play the best.
I move my bishop to her queen's front door.
She lost her diary on the bus.
Forgot to keep the score.
Salamander's rag time;
So we'll sit in and watch the telly.
Turning both my knees to jelly,
But I really wouldn't mind.

No, I really wouldn't mind.
Well, I really wouldn't mind.
Oh, I really wouldn't mind.
Well, I really wouldn't mind.
I really wouldn't mind.



Take a nap, bring fall asleep.
I can't touch her for a three-day week,
But I really wouldn't mind.

Oh, no - I really wouldn't mind.
Well, I really wouldn't mind.

Well, I really wouldn't mind.
Well, I really wouldn't mind.
No, I really wouldn't mind.
I really wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind.
