On a Summer's Night (A Song)

When the sun shines bright
Early on a Saturday night
And the barbecue’s through
And the buzz is all right,
That’s when I come to you,
Say, ‘don’t say goodnight
‘Come walk with me
‘In the freeing twilight.’

And we roam like children
Because that’s what we are,
Lost in a wilderness
In each other’s arms,
And we know that we’re dying
Because we got the plague
But we’re free to be living
Three more painful days.
Yes we’re free to be living
With the Bubonic Plague.

Oh baby yeah,
Got the bubonic plague,
Guess I’ll have a tonic
Maybe buy a bag,
Then we’ll make love baby
Until our sores burst
Because we got the plague
And you know how that hurts.

Oh baby yeah,
Got the bubonic plague,
And we’re free to be living
Three more painful days.

Yes we’re free to be living
Three more dying days.
