They call me the leopard From the bleak beyond My breathing is laboured And long With rings on my fingers and bells on my toes You shall know the leopard wherever he goes I choose a ring of roses I choose a filthy pose They call me the leopard More leper than leopard With rings all over me And bells all over me Yes, I could have been could have been a shepherd They call me the leopard With bells on my fingers and bells on my toes For they shall avoid me Where-ever I go You shall know the Leopard where-ever he goes Bring on this plague!
