The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.

Sunday afternoon there's something special 
It's just like another world 
Jogging in the park is my excuse 
To look at all the little girls 

I'm not a flasher in a rain coat, 
I'm not a dirty old man, 
I'm not gonna snatch you from your mother, 
I'm an art lover 
Come to daddy, 
Ah, come to daddy, 
Come to daddy 

Pretty little legs, I want to draw them, 
Like a Degas ballerina 
Pure white skin, like porcelain, 
She's a work of art and I should know 
I'm an art lover 
Come to daddy, 
And I'll give you some spangles 

Little girl don't notice me 
Watching as she innocently plays 
She can't see me staring at her 
Because I'm always wearing shades 
She feeds the ducks, looks at the flowers 
I follow her around for hours and hours 
I'd take her home, but that could never be, 
She's just a substitute 
For what's been taken from me 
Ah, come to daddy, come on 

Sunday afternoon can't last forever, 
Wish I could take you home 
So, come on, give us a smile 
Before you vanish out of view 
I've learned to appreciate you 
The way art lovers do, 
And I only want to look at you
