"I'm John the baptist and this is my friend Salome And you can bet it's my head she wants and not my heart only If you see me smiling and you wonder why You can bet it's a private joke between her and I And it's all alright Everything's alright Alright Everything's alright She dances for me in the midnight moon And when I play for her she never sings too soon When my head's cut off and I'm lying on the plate I'm going to grin and tell myself it's been a lovely wait" John Martyn
