I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I wiggle when I piddle
'Cos my middle is a riddle
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I dribble when I nibble
And I quibble when I scribble
Hello to you out there in Normal Land
You may not comprehend my tale or understand
As I crawl past your window give me lucky looks
You can read my body but you'll never read my books
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm knobbled on the cobbles
'Cos I hobble when I wobble
Swim!
So place your hard-earned peanuts in my tin
And thank the Creator you're not in the state I'm in
So long have I been languished on the shelf
I must give all proceedings to myself
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
54 appliances in leather and elastic
100,000 thank you's from 27 ... spastics
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Widdling, griddling, skittling, diddling, fiddling, diddling, widdling,
diddling, spasticus
I'm spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
Spasticus!
"Dear parrot, I love you so deeply and true"
Said Reggie, destroyed and upset
"Dear cuddles, my darling, oh what shall I do?"
Said Dinky, your kinky love pet
"Dear Bonbon, your chicken lies dead in the fridge"
"Dear Porky, I ache for your touch"
"Dear Dishy, I'll meet you on Battersea Bridge"
"Dear Bonny, come back to our hutch"
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
"Dear Sticky, I miss all your silly old pongs"
From Beaky, who hungers for fun
"Dear Saucy, I offer redundant regards"
Said Lucky, who hasn't had none
Said Nonsense, "I've had it right up to my ears"
From Fiery, who never grows cold
"Oh gosh, how I love you, I tell you no lies"
Said Harley, before I'm too old
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
"Dear parrot, I love you so deeply and true"

I hope you get a red letter
And I hope this letter will make things better
I hope you get a red letter
The foot which steps with measured tread
Receives instructions from your head
It's the body song
It's the body song
The leg, a source of much delight
Which carries weight and governs height
It's the body song
It's the body song
The flesh we've got beneath our skin
Is what we keep our feelings in
It's the body song
It's the body song
Manipulation has its charms
For fingers, hands and also arms
It's the body song
It's the body song
Dreams of joy and songs of pain
Come well inside the brain's domain
It's the body song
It's the body song
The sight of smiles upon the face
Gives hope for all the human race
It's the body song
It's the body song
The mysteries that most perplex
Are heart of love and soul of sex
It's the body song
It's the body song
What bodies need in general terms
Is food and clothes and free of germs
It's the body song
It's the body song
Your eyes are focused on a screen of your own choosing
Your mind is busy with distractions of its own
My imminent departure is the flavour of the evening
You lent me a welcome, I paid interest on the loan
Your downward glance, a punishment for errant little foibles
The things that make us human are unpleasant to your taste
Each drooping lash has cut me up with barbed insinuations
I plundered all my savings in the hopes that you've disgraced
So fond farewell from corny clown
I'm going back to lonely town
Where people weep, others frown
Empty lives can tumble down
In lonely town
Lonely town
Lonely town
Lonely town
A broken shadow of a man that you ignore before you
Once drove the streets of London like a leopard on the prowl
The virus that destroyed the youth, the fool who would adore you
Will take me where the air is grey, the atmosphere is foul
So best of luck and all the rest
I'm going back to lonely town
Where good is bad, worse is best
Empty lives can tumble down
In lonely town
Lonely town
Lonely town
Lonely town
So fond farewell from corny clown
I'm going back to lonely town
Where people weep, others frown
Empty lives can tumble down
In lonely town
Lonely town
Lonely town
Lonely town
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
You must have trust
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
You must have trust

Beans in your jeans
Beans in your jeans
Beans in your jeans
Your jeans have beans
Luck is a duck
Luck is a duck
Luck is a duck
Well, love a duck
A hug is not smug
A hug is not smug
A hug is not smug
If you don't know, now
Escape is a jape
Escape is a jape
Escape is a jape
Keep your japes in shape
Hope helps you cope
Hope helps you cope
Hope helps you cope
You can cope with hope
Frisco friends!
Friends are the trend
Friends are the trend
Friends are the trend
The trend is friends
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
You must have trust
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
You must have trust
Now guitar Frisco!
Drums please Frisco!
Space is a grace
Space is a grace
Space is a grace
Get your face in space
Time is sublime
Time is sublime

A rhyme of time
Yes is the best
Yes is the best
Yes is the best
The best is yes
No Frisco!
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
Trust is a must
You must have trust
I take you to the pictures
I take you to the shop
Walking in the sunshine
Rolling in the snow
Stepping on the threshold
Out into the street
All you want to do, my love,
Is dancing with your feet
To those funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky, funky, funky, funky, funky disco pops
Oh!
I went to see the doctor
Not so long ago
I told her all about you
I put her in the know
Tried to get you treatment
I didn't stand a chance
She turned on her radio
And she did the doctor's dance
To those funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky, funky, funky, funky, funky disco pops
If one doctor doctors another doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring
doctor the doctor who's being doctored
Just as the doctor being doctored wants to be doctored
Or does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor the doctor who's being doctored
Just as the doctor who's doing the doctoring wants to do the doctoring
Do the doctoring
Do the doctoring
I want to take you courting
But bopping is the boss
Hugging makes you angry
Kissing makes you cross
Your only inspiration
Is booty of the seat
In this position your disposition
Is always very sweet
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky, funky, funky, funky, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky disco pops, funky disco pops
Funky, funky, funky, funky, funky disco pops
