In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatán
Every womans', every man
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me! Hit me!
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me slowly, hit me quick
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me! Hit me!
Das ist gut, c'est fantastique
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
It's nice to be a lunatic
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me! Hit me! Hit ..... me!
In the dock of Tiger Bay
On the road to Mandalay
From Bombay to Santa Fé
O'er the hills and far away
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me! Hit me!
C'est si bon, um, ist es nicht
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Two fat persons, click, click, click
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me! Ow!
Hit me!Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
THERE AIN'T HALF BEEN SOME CLEVER BASTARDS
Noel Coward was a charmer
As a writer he was Brahma
Velvet jackets and pyjamas
The Gay Divorce and other dramas
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Lucky bleeders
Lucky bleeders
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Van Gogh did some eyeball pleasers
He must have been a pencil squeezer
He didn't do the Mona Lisa
That was an Italian geezer
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Lucky bleeders
Lucky bleeders
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Einstein can't be classed as witless
He claimed atoms were the littlest
When you did a bit of splitiness
Frightened everybody shitless
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Probably got help from their mum who had help from her mum
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Now that we've had some let's hope that there's lots more to come
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Lucky bleeders
Lucky bleeders
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Okey dokey
Oh!
Segovia
La la la la da da da dee
Tee tum di dum tee tum tum diddle dum dee
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Lucky bleeders
Lucky bleeders
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Lucky bleeders
Lucky bleeders
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Lucky bleeders
Lucky bleeders
There ain't half been some clever ...

REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL (PART 3)
Why don't you get back into bed?, Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed?, Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed?, Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed?, Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed?, Why don't you get back into bed
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good Golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley, add nanny goats
Eighteen-wheeler Scammels, Domineker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly and porridge oats
A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it, yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on forty, no electric shocks
The juice of the carrot, the smile of a parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty, curing smallpox

Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Health service glasses, gigolos and brasses
Round or skinny bottoms
Take your mum to Paris, lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico
Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motor sickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
Balabalabala and Volare
Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying 'okey-dokey', singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey
John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celantano
Bonar Colleano

We're as common as muck
Bon chance, viel glück, good luck
Where bold is beautiful we don't give a damn
Love a duck we're as common as muck
You're not Victor Hugo
I'm not Patience Strong
I'm not Rodney Rygate
Or Yvonne Goolagong
Shirley Abacair
I'm not Nelly Melba
You're not Nelly Dean

We're as common as muck
Buona fortuna, vayas con dios, good luck

I'm Charley, you know
I'm Norman, pleased to meet you
I'm Mickey, hello
Wilko
I'm Johnny, how are you doing Harry?
My name is David
And I'm Ian... and ... guess what?
Oi!
I want to be straight, I want to be straight
I'm sick and tired of taking drugs and staying up late.
I wanna confirm, I wanna conform
I wanna be safe and I wanna be snug and I wanna be warm
I want to be straight, I want to be straight
I wanna create a place of my own in the welfare state
Brr, gonna be good, brr, gonna be kind
It might be a wrench but think of the stench I'm leaving behind
I want to be straight, I want to be straight
Come out of the cold and do what I'm told and don't deviate
I wanna give, I wanna give, I wanna give my consent
I'm learning to hate all the things that were great when I used to be... bent!
Could be that straightness
Might lead to greatness
Owing to lateness
My chance has only just arrived, ha!
Straight, straight, straight, straight
Straight, straight, straight, straight
Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight
I want to be straight, I want to be straight
I'm sick and tired of taking drugs and staying up late
I know that you're right, I know I was wrong
So thanks very much, please keep in touch, I'll be running along
I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to
be straight
I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to
be straight
I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to
be straight
I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to
be straight
I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to
be straight
I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to
be straight
I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to
be straight
I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to be straight, I want to
be .....
Straight
While these minutes are no good
Bloody slowly drift away
It's you that comes to help him now
That's not all he wants to say
Tomorrow
And Tomorrow
And Tomorrow
And Tomorrow
Tomorrow
And Tomorrow
And Tomorrow
Tries to keep himself in shape
Washed and clean and acting cool
Lonely as a homeless fish
Swimming in an empty pool
Never wants to let you down
Trying hard but fighting fit
Patient as the day allows
Calls you his survival kit
Tomorrow
And Tomorrow
Tomorrow
And Tomorrow
Tomorrow
And Tomorrow
Tomorrow!
Of course you know it's actually me
Embarrassed by this sweat bouquet
I love you 'till the cows come home
That's not all I want to say
