Leaves are rustling
Rustling in the sultry evening breeze (Ahh)
I don't wear pajamas
Trust me darling, you won't need that chemise

I know it's hard to love a man like me
But you do so with the greatest of ease

We created tender love from scratch
Don't you think it's time we made another batch?
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die

Who needs moonlight?
Moonlight's rubbish, anyway, my dear
When the clouds obscure it
Look upon you, 'neath the chandelier

??? to precious love, and blindly
Fumbling with the clasp of your brazier

We created tender love from scratch
Don't you think it's time we made another batch?
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara, or I will die
I will surely die

(All alone)

Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara, or I will die
I will surely die
Surely die

Just bury me, Barb
Bury me in a coffin full of money
And I'll love you throughout the afterlife
