lyrics

Quick! Run! A Lion's Escaped And He's Heading For The Dentist!

Take a seat in the chair, sit back and relax
while I take a look, open wide, head back
You're needing treatment, I see decay
it's too far gone, I'll remove today

Chorus:
Quick! Run! There's a lion on the loose!
Quick! Run! Just where's he heading to?

It could be numb, it could be sore
it's the price you pay and you know the score
Some may follow, some may learn
the price of life is less than you earn

Ch:
Quick! Run! He's got you in his sights
Quick! Run! Right between the eyes

You don't need no anaesthetic
your apology is just pathetic
No gas or air, no novocaine
just a short sharp shock straight to the brain

Ch:
Quick! Run! He's taking all of the bad
Quick! Run! The best treatment you ever had

about

Chris Butler UK

Having taken up the rallying cry from the punk movement to pick up a guitar and make a noise - Chris did just that. He ran with the idea and hasn't stopped running since. Where he's going is anyone's guess for this singer songwriter...

Previous to this recent release, Chris’s CD If Not Now, When? was released on Feline Classics Records and is available from www.etsy.com/shop/chrisbutlersongs ... more
