It's a God awful
small affair
To the girl
with the mousy hair
But her mummy
is yelling, "No"
And her daddy
has told her to go
But her friend
is nowhere to be seen
As she walks
through her sunken dream
To the seat
with the clearest view
And she's hooked
to the silver screen
But the film
is a saddening bore
For she's lived it
ten times or more
She could spit
in the eyes of fools
As they ask her
to focus on sailors fighting
in the dance halls
Oh man,
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
beating up the wrong guy
Oh man,
wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the
best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's
tortured brow
Mickey Mouse
has grown up a cow
Now the workers
have struck for fame
'Cos Lennon's on sale again
See the mice
in their million hoards
From Ibiza
to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia
is out of bounds
To my mother,
my dog and clowns
But the film
is a saddening bore
'Cos I wrote it
ten times or more
It's about
to be writ again
As I ask you
to focus on sailors
fighting on the dance floor
Oh man,
look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
beating up the wrong guy
Oh man,
wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the
best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
