Words & Music by Marc Bolan

(We're the leopards.)
(We're the leopards.)
(We're the leopards.)

Leader of our pack,
Lives down the local drain.
(We're the leopards.)
King Kong built a car,
Inside his brain.
(We're the leopards.)
You tell me,
Who's the sexiest,
But, why it's,
Gardenia & the Mighty Slug.
(We're the leopards.)

Old Doug Henry lost an ear,
When he crossed my path.
(We're the leopards.)
Called himself Jesus,
Well that's what he said to me.
(We're the leopards.)
I never seen a freak,
Look as weird as you.
Except for,
Gardenia and the Mighty Slug.
(We're the leopards.)

Cycle Michael grotesque school desk,
In my brain.
(We're the leopards.)
Mincing Quincy dropping bop drops,
Down the drain.
(We're the leopards.)
I'll just tell you boy,
We're mean and we're tough,
Just like,
Gardenia and the Mighty Slug.
(We're the leopards.)

I know that we know that they know,
It's wrong.
(We're the leopards.)
To spend your life,
Inside a song.
(We're the leopards.)
Greasy Gerty tried it
And she licked it too.
Just like,
Gardenia and the Mighty Slug.
(We're the leopards.)

Uncle Bimbo drunk up,
The sea of Galilee.
(We're the leopards.)
Like a fool,
He promised it all to me.
(We're the leopards.)
But I'm young,
And built of steel.
Just like,
Gardenia and the Mighty Slug.
Just like,
Gardenia and the Mighty Slug.
Just like,
Gardenia and the Mighty Slug.

We're the leopards.
We're the leopards.
We're the leopards.
Say it again.
