Well look at the kid from school
|
He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
|
He's changing fashion, the way he dress
|
The tracksuits are old, and the hoody's way too moody
|
For the kid with the will to funk
|
He dances in secret; he's a part-time punk
|
|
She's getting off the plane
|
She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged
|
The kids fighting up the lane
|
Shop lifting, just drifting
|
Like The Switchblade And The Cross
|
But if there's trouble she's got the moves
|
She's taking an elementary class in Kung Fu
|
|
I left my washing in the launderette
|
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
|
That when I see my washing
|
The black will be grey and the white will be grey
|
But the blues are still blue
|
|
I'm crying out for my mum
|
If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble
|
With the boss of the company
|
I'm a singer, a swinger I'm a layabout but laying on
|
The dock in the lazy sun
|
Will never quite relegate me to a bum
|
|
I left my lady in the launderette
|
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
|
That when I see my lady
|
The black will be white and the white will be black
|
But the blues are still blue
|
|
Baby, I love your face (baby I love your face)
|
I've been creeping round this town because
|
Well, creeping's just my way (oh oh)
|
But with a little wink I'll be there (little wink I'll be there)
|
I'll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade
|
I know your young, but you're out of touch
|
You're French, your vocabulary's not quite formed
|
|
I left my homework in the launderette
|
I got a letter from my mamma which my stupid dog has ate
|
I hid behind the fence
|
Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog
|
He's not making much sense
|
|
I left my lady in the launderette
|
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
|
That when I see my lady
|
The black will be white and the white will be black
|
But the blues are still blue
|
|
I left my lady in the launderette
|
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
|
That when I see my lady
|
The black will be white and the white will be black
|
