Elton John & Tim Rice Follow

Already they'll be getting out the flags
With Memphis high in mode adulatory
Still I only see a lot of snags

For just because I triumphed as a slaver
Brought booty back to Egypt by the ton
Of this and every month, now I'm the flavor, ooh, yeah
And scheduled to do things I've never done

And why should I tell you this, a stranger I just met
A woman who in hours from now I'll certainly forget?

Anonymous and undemanding
Enchantment passing through
My secrets and my confidence are safe enough with you

My days out on the field are all but ended
They'll put me out to grass which means the throne
Bedecked with jewels alongside my intended
I feel as if my heart is set in stone

For just because I triumphed as a slaver
Brought booty back to Egypt by the ton, oh, yeah
Of this and every month, I'm now the flavor
And scheduled to do things I've never done, hey, hey

And why should I tell you this, a stranger I just met
A woman who in hours from now I'll certainly forget?

Anonymous and undemanding
Enchantment passing through
My secrets and my confidence is safe enough in you

Why should I tell you this, a stranger I just met
Someone who in hours from now I'll certainly forget?

So anonymous and undemanding, yeas, you are
Enchantment passing through
My secrets and my confidence is safe enough with you

And why should I tell you this, a stranger I just met
A woman who in hours from now I'll certainly forget?

Anonymous and undemanding
Enchantment passing through
My secrets and my confidence are safe enough with you
Are safe enough with you

Already they'll be getting out the flags
With Memphis high in mode adulatory
