After dinner Norman becomes depressed.
|
|
[Star:]
|
Norman's office got on my nerves to-day.
|
|
[Wife:]
|
What do you mean? You are Norman!
|
|
[Star:]
|
(Shouts) I am a star!
|
|
[Wife:]
|
You're not a star Norman. You're
|
Just a plain ordinary little bloke and
|
Even if you walked down the street in
|
A silver suit people still wouldn't
|
Recognise you. You're dull, ordinary
|
And uninteresting! You're a drag!
|
|
Star rises from his chair and smashes
|
The dinner plates to the floor.
|
|
[Star:]
|
I hate this house and I hate you, but
|
More than anything else I hate those
|
Ducks!
|
|
[Wife:]
|
Don't you touch those ducks Norman!
|
They were a present from my mother.
|
Look, Norman, I've had enough of you
|
And your ridiculous fantasies. First of
|
All you wanted to be a painter, then
|
You wanted to be an astronaut, then
|
A footballer and now you're playing at
|
Being a rock singer. If you touch those
|
Ducks I'm leaving!
|
|
Ducks On The Wall
|
|
My baby's got the most deplorable taste,
|
But her biggest mistake
|
Is hanging over the fireplace.
|
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall,
|
Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall.
|
|
My lady's got a sort of strange fascination,
|
An obsessive fixation
|
For cheap decorations
|
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall.
|
Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall.
|
|
Wo-wo-wo I love her so but if she doesn't move the ducks,
|
I think my mind is gonna go.
|
Ducks ducks on the wall.
|
Ducks ducks, hanging on the wall.
|
|
I leave the office and I want to relax.
|
Don't want to stare at a wall
|
And look at a duck that can't quack.
|
I love you baby but I can't fall
|
For those ducks on the wall.
|
|
I start to snuggle up and squeeze her so tight.
|
Then out of the corner of my eye
|
I see those ducks in flight.
|
I love you baby but I can't ball
|
When I see those ducks on the wall.
|
|
Wo-wo-wo I can sit through your gossip and your soap opera shows,
|
But those ducks have got to go.
|
I love you baby but I can't ball
|
When I see those ducks on the wall.
|
And when I went to a cocktail party
|
With the bores next door,
|
What was the first thing that I saw?
|
Ducks, ducks on the wall.
|
Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall.
|
|
My baby's got the most deplorable taste,
|
But her biggest mistake
|
Is hanging over the fireplace.
|
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall,
|
Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall.
|
|
I'll sit and look at all the soap operas with her
|
I'll play all the panel games and watch all the quiz shows,
|
But those ducks they've got to go,
|
Those ducks are getting up my nose.
|
|
If those ducks can fly, well so can I.
|
And if those ducks have got to stay
|
Then I'm going to fly away.
|
I love you baby but I can't ball
|
When I see those ducks on the wall.
|
|
Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall.
|
Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall.
|
Oh those ducks on the wall are beginning to move
|
They're talking to me
|
I've got to get away from those ducks.
