| 作词 : MacManus | |
| Did anybody notice, over marmalade and eggs | |
| In between the princess' legs | |
| What with wars and floods and beggars | |
| Not to mention stocks and shares | |
| If you have a moment to spare | |
| Can you write and reassure me that i have seen | |
| They're constructing a time machine | |
| There will be no need for the obituary pages | |
| We can have any hero from the bygone ages | |
| 'til the truth emerges, the argument rages | |
| Chorus: | |
| The major and the minor | |
| Turn from tallow into tar | |
| Should we leave them in their place? | |
| Down in damnation's cellar | |
| When any form of deity that you might enjoy | |
| Can be conjured with a test-tube and a flame | |
| If it's out there then science can explain it | |
| Or at least remove the blame | |
| And if theres is anyone you'd like to see again | |
| The speak up quickly | |
| Send us back da vinci then we don't have to ponder | |
| The maddening smile of 'la giaconda' | |
| The critics say nijinsky, the dancer, of course | |
| While the punters would probably prefer the horse | |
| You'll find it's quicker than history, cheaper than divorce | |
| Chorus | |
| Bring back liberace or ollie and stan | |
| Shakespeare will have to wait his turn | |
| Elvis presley and puccini shall return | |
| I suppose we live and learn, though it's hard to believe as we | |
| Cheerfully burn | |
| It's curious | |
| Some will call for justice. | |
| There are murders to solve | |
| What about hitler? or at least lee harvey oswald | |
| Give us this day and everything we squander | |
| Anyone beautiful | |
| Somebody blonder | |
| They'll never please mankind, so lie back and enjoy it | |
| Stop press: they've just decided to destroy it | |
| Chorus |
