Lyrics

[00:35.09] Ring! Ring! It's 7: 00 A.M.!
[00:37.16] Move why'self to go again
[00:39.24] Cold water in the face
[00:41.41] Brings you back to this awful place
[00:43.69] Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too
[00:45.71] Must get up an' learn those rules
[00:47.78] Weather man and the crazy chief
[00:49.75] One says sun and one says sleet
[00:51.87] A.M., the F.M. the P.M. too
[00:53.94] Churning out that boogaloo
[00:56.02] Gets you up and gets you out
[00:58.00] But how long can you keep it up?
[00:59.96] Gimme Honda, Gimme Sony
[01:01.98] So cheap and real phony
[01:04.26] Hong Kong dollars and Indian cents
[01:06.20] English pounds and Eskimo pence
[01:08.31] You lot! What?
[01:10.29] Don't stop! Give it all you got!
[01:12.37] You lot! What?
[01:14.30] Don't stop! Yeah!
[01:24.98] Working for a rise, better my station
[01:26.70] Take my baby to sophistication
[01:28.62] She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice
[01:30.85] Better work hard - I seen the price
[01:32.87] Never mind that it's time for the bus
[01:34.89] We got to work - an' you're one of us
[01:37.02] Clocks go slow in a place of work
[01:39.42] Minutes drag and the hours jerk
[01:43.56] \"When can I tell 'em wot I do?
[01:44.48] In a second, maaan... oright Chuck!\"
[01:50.04] Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
[01:51.65] It's our profit, it's his loss
[01:53.88] But anyway lunch bells ring
[01:55.86] Take one hour and do your thanng!
[02:02.84] Cheeesboiger!
[02:12.29] What do we have for entertainment?
[02:14.21] Cops kickin' Gypsies on the pavement
[02:16.29] Now the news - snap to attention!
[02:18.36] The lunar landing of the dentist convention
[02:20.33] Italian mobster shoots a lobster
[02:22.37] Seafood restaurant gets out of hand
[02:24.44] A car in the fridge
[02:25.75] Or a fridge in the car?
[02:27.12] Like cowboys do - in T.V. land
[02:28.84] You lot! What? Don't stop. Huh?
[02:45.32] So get back to work an' sweat some more
[02:47.63] The sun will sink an' we'll get out the door
[02:49.51] It's no good for man to work in cages
[02:51.78] Hits the town, he drinks his wages
[02:53.71] You're frettin', you're sweatin'
[02:55.73] But did you notice you ain't gettin'?
[02:57.86] Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
[03:02.46] To take your car outta that gear
[03:04.13] Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
[03:08.23] To get your car outta that gear
[03:10.30] Karlo Marx and Fredrich Engels
[03:12.27] Came to the checkout at the 7-11
[03:14.38] Marx was skint - but he had sense
[03:16.40] Engels lent him the necessary pence
[03:18.42] What have we got? Yeh-o, magnificence!
[03:35.26] Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi
[03:36.92] Went to the park to check on the game
[03:39.10] But they was murdered by the other team
[03:40.76] Who went on to win 50-nil
[03:43.09] You can be true, you can be false
[03:45.02] You be given the same reward
[03:47.15] Socrates and Milhous Nixon
[03:49.52] Both went the same way - through the kitchen
[03:52.45] Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin
[03:54.02] Who's more famous to the billion millions?
[03:55.49] News Flash: Vacuum Cleaner Sucks Up Budgie
[04:03.17] Oooohh... bub-bye
[04:07.22] Magnificence!
