I read the news today oh boy |
|
About a lucky man who made the grade |
|
And though the news was rather sad |
|
Well I just had to laugh |
|
I saw the photograph. |
|
He blew his mind out in a car |
|
He didn't notice that the lights had changed |
|
A crowd of people stood and stared |
|
They'd seen his face before |
|
Nobody was really sure |
|
If he was from the House of Lords. |
|
I saw a film today oh boy |
|
The English Army had just won the war |
|
A crowd of people turned away |
|
But I just had to look |
|
Having read the book. |
|
I'd love to turn you on |
|
Woke up, fell out of bed, |
|
Dragged a comb across my head |
|
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, |
|
And looking up I noticed I was late. |
|
Found my coat and grabbed my hat |
|
Made the bus in seconds flat |
|
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke, |
|
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream |
|
I read the news today oh boy |
|
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire |
|
And though the holes were rather small |
|
They had to count them all |
|
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. |
|
I'd love to turn you on |
