LADY DI AND I 
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
 

Wake me with kisses in the afternoon 
The butler knows any time you arrive is never too soon 
He knows just where you are by the sound of your car 
He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair 

You could drive me crazy with your unkempt hair 
You don't know what a comb is and frankly, I don't care 
'Cause you're fast and you're wild and you make the butler smile 
By bringing me flowers like meteor showers 
Which reminds me of something that I've recently seen 
It was a look in the eye of Lady Di 

As she stood on the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century was in her long white veil 
Maybe she would rather have you than the Prince of Wales 
And all the jewels and the crown and all the villages and towns that line the sea of the monarchy 

And while I cut the roses, what about Lady Di? 
She's a child of the 80's just like you and like I 
Think of all of the things that she'll never do 
See a rock and roll show, get a heart-shaped tattoo 
Wear a t-shirt around in the middle of town 
Take a Harley ride as the sun goes down 

And think of all the music that I make with you 
Let's take a walk on the wild side, baby, I'm in love with you 
I will leave my Dior by the cabinet door 
And I'll leave my bouquet on the breakfast tray 
My parents are out, let's head north of the bay 
Maybe go for a sail just like the Prince of Wales 

Does he ever love her in the afternoon? 
Was the kiss that she gave him in public just a little too soon? 
And it's really a shame, she'll take half of the blame 
For the boys in the Maze and their numbered days 
Yes, there's a tear in the eye of Lady Di 

As she looks from the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century is probably a lie 
My heart goes out to you, Princess, lovely Lady Di 
For all that it seems, here I stand in my jeans 
For whatever it means, it is I who am queen
