My baby's love is called clare
Serpentine seductress I can't compare
My bady's love is merciless to me
Waiting like a hussy and laughing drunkenly

And over the rooftops
When the stars prickle the sky
London is sleeping and a Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making love
I hear them making love

Clare was born in New Orleans
She grew up in the bars on Bourbon Street
Back in the days of Marie Lovernau
She learnt the ways of that old voodoo

And over the rooftops
When the stars prickle the sky
London is sleeping and a Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making love
I hear them making love

And over the rooftops
When the stars prickle the sky
London is sleeping and a Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making love
I hear them making love
