HIT ME WITH YOUR RHYTHM STICK
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 ...
