I went to a party at the local county jail
|
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
|
But the guys were indiscreet
|
They were brawling in the street
|
At the local dance at the local county jail
|
Well the band were playing
|
And the booze began to flow
|
But the sound came over on the police car radio
|
Down at Precinct 49
|
Having a tear-gas of a time
|
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail
|
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
|
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
|
I love to hear those convicts squeal
|
It's a shame these slugs ain't real
|
But we can't have dancin' at the local county jail
|
Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail
|
And for miles around
|
You could hear the sirens wail
|
There's a rumor goin' round death row
|
That a fuse is gonna blow
|
At the local hop at the local county jail
|
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
|
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
|
Sergeant Baker started talkin'
|
With a bullhorn in his hand
|
He was cool, he was clear
|
He was always in command
|
He said "Blood will flow;
|
Here Padre
|
Padre you talk to your boys..."
|
"Trust in me -
|
God will come to set you free"
|
Well we don't understand
|
Why you called in the National Guard
|
When Uncle Sam is the one
|
Who belongs in the exercise yard
|
We all got balls and brains
|
But some's got balls and chains
|
At the local dance at the local county jail
|
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
|
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
|
Is it really such a crime
|
For a guy to spend his time
|
At the local dance at the local county jail
|
At the local dance at the local county jail
|
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
|
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
|

10CC - Silly Love
|
===================
|
|
Hey toots, you put the life into living
|
You brought a sigh into sight
|
Ah hon, you make my legs turn to water
|
You bring the stars out at night
|
But they ain't half so bright
|
As your eyes
|
Gee whiz, you take the beauty out of beautiful
|
You play the strings of my heart
|
Oh babe, you take the wonder out of wonderful
|
Oh my, oh my, and my, if you were mine
|
The rain would turn to sweet sweet wine
|
Well he's been up all night
|
Breakin' his head in two to write
|
A little sonnet for his chickadee
|
But between you and me
|
I think its sssssssssssilly. Silly
|
Ooh treas, you got a smile like a Rembrandt
|
Aha, you got the style of a queen
|
Oh dear, you are the petal of a rosebud
|
Next to you all the others could be weeds
|
You're the only one my garden needs
|
Ooh, you know the art of conversation
|
Must be dying
|
Ooh, when a romance depends on
|
Cliches and toupees and threepes
|
We're up to here with moonin' and junin'
|
If you want to sound sincere -
|
Don't rely on Crosby's croonin' -
|
Take a little time
|
Make up your own rhyme
|
Don't rely on mine
|
`Cos it's sssssssssilly - silly - silly - silly
|

10CC - Life Is A Minestrone
|
=============================
|
|
I'm dancing on the White House lawn
|
Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn
|
Hanging round the gardens of Babylon
|
Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up
|
She gets more fan mail than the Pope
|
She takes the mickey out of all my phobias
|
Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia
|
Life is a minestrone
|
Served up with parmesan cheese
|
Death is a cold Lasagne
|
Suspended in deep freeze
|
I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa
|
Had an eyeful of the tower in France
|
I'm hanging round the gardens of Madison
|
And the seat of learning
|
And the flush of success
|
Relieves a constipated mind
|
I'm like a gourmet in a skid row diner
|
A fitting menu for a dilettante
|
Life is a minestrone
|
Served up with parmesan cheese
|
Death is a cold Lasagne
|
Suspended in deep freeze
|
Love is a fire of flaming brandy
|
Upon a crepe suzette
|
Let's get this romance cooking, honey
|
But let us not forget
|
Life is a minestrone
|
Served up with parmesan cheese
|
Death is a cold Lasagne
|
Suspended in deep freeze
|
