Wake up
|
Put on my riot gear
|
But in the study of my house
|
I've got a smoking jacket passed to me from Grand Daddy
|
It's made of bow and arrow meat
|
|
Do do do do do do
|
Do do do do do do
|
|
Come home
|
Take off my riot gear
|
Put on my smoke jacket
|
But in the library of my house I have a laugh
|
Medieval jokes are just as funny now
|
If you've got a degree
|
|
Heaven help the ones who know
|
What makes the world go slow
|
|
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
|
|
The night comes
|
Time to go on the town
|
And in my best
|
Sashimi dress
|
And marble arch supporting shoes
|
I am a vision in my horse-drawn tank
|
|
Da da da da da da
|
Da da da da da da
|
|
Stay out
|
Drinking into the night
|
And they are saying those same things
|
And I'm like "Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee"
|
'Til half-past three
|
And then it's time for me to go
|
|
Heaven help the ones who know
|
What makes the world go slow
|
What makes the world go slow
|
|
Come home
|
Take off my tuna dress
|
Put on my collard greens
|
And in my sleep
|
What dreams may come
|
Before I'm woken by alarms
|
Put on my riot gear
|
