Don't Take Five (Take What You Want) Lyrics

[ VERY TRICKY ONE THIS !! ]

? Live and ?
I was out there a-shopping a one morning in May
Getting lot of provisions for them nuclear days
Apples, oranges, mangos and pears
Fresh from the store ?
I was pushing my cart from the detergent to cheeze
When I first saw the man with the antler ears
I tried to ignore but his gaze held my eyes
When he told me the truth about the basket of lies

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

So I told him some more about me and Rock
How we formed a band just around the block
How we'd searched for years for this African tribe
I'd been lost with the diamonds down Solomon's mines
From the way he was dressed with his shield and spears
He was obviously a man with very few fears
So I asked him to join us in our quest for our Grail
Leave the fight out behind with the unopened mail

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

We set the date for the very next day
We cashed our giros and we're on our way
The JAMS don't mess and the JAMS don't sway
We told Mandy Smith she could stop or say
So we crossed the Sahara in a runaway ?
In a Bedowin tribe just out on parole
Gadaffi said hi so we blew his mind 
When we started to leave with some of solomon's mines
                ? seek ... we sought ?                            <<<

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
