Bilingual
They tell us that we're savages
Who haven't got a hope
We're burnin' in the furnaces
We're chokin' in the smoke
They say we haven't got a choice
Refuse to recognize our voice
Yet they enjoy the commissions
From the proceeds of the joke
Those Butterfly Boys
At play with their toys
Stingin' like bees
Itchin' like fleas
Butterfly Boys
You got the toys
You got the breeze
We caught the freeze
Butterfly Boys
Give us a break
We got the groceries
You got the cake
ย
They tell us that we're savages
Who cannot understand
We're sailin' on a sinkin' ship
We're swimmin' in the sand
They put their fingers in their ears
Refuse to recognize our fears
And fly off to Jamaica
When we call them underhand
Those Butterfly Boys
At play with their toys
Stingin' like bees
Itchin' like fleas
Butterfly Boys
You got the toys
You got the breeze
We caught the freeze
Butterfly Boys
Give us a break
We got the groceries
You got the cake

Butterfly Boys, Butterfly Boys
Butterfly Boys
Butterfly Boys, Butterfly Boys
Butterfly Boys
Everybody, Butterfly Boys, Butterfly Boys
Butterfly Boys
Butterfly Boys, Butterfly Boys
Butterfly Boys
You got the cake
Procol Harum and another one of their songs
From the new LP, "Exotic Birds and Fruits"
And that one was called, "Butterfly Boys"
Bringin' us almost to the end of this week's concert program
Which eh, as always was produced by Jeff Griffin
Sound balance was by the Excellent Chris Lightset
And liftin' about is by Paul Deli
And to end tonight's program
We're gonna go to the single which I mentioned earlier on
This is Procol Harum and "Nothing But The Truth"
