Lyrics:

Marie has set up home with a woman half my age
A half-wit in a leotard stands on my stage
The standards have fallen, my value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
The old hometown just looks the same
Like a derelict man who has died out of shame
Like a jumble sale left out in the rain
It's not good, it's not right
The standards have fallen, my value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you don't come near

You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Where did you leave your self-respect?
You like look like a reptile, your house is a wreck
Your existence an insult and stains that are suspect
Cover your clothes
The standards have fallen, my value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
