Why don't you get back into bed?
Why don't you get back into bed?
Why don't you get back into bed?
Why don't you get back into bed?

 

Reasons to be cheerful, part 3
1, 2, 3

 

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly, Miss Molly and boats
 

Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats
 

18 wheeler Scammels, dominica camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
 

Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny sniffin' Willie
Being rather silly and porridge oats
 

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
Your welcome we can spare it, yellow socks
 

Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on forty no electric shocks
 

The juice of a carrot, the smile of a parrot
A little drop of claret, anything that rocks
 

Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain't spotty
Sitting on a potty, curing smallpox

Reasons to be cheerful, part 3
 

Health service glasses, gigolos and brasses
Round or skinny bottoms
 

Take your mum to Paris, lighting up a chalice
Wee Willie Harris
 

Bantu Steven Biko, listening to Reko
Harpo Groucho Chico
 

Cheddar cheese and pickle, a Vincent motorcycle
Slap and tickle
 

Woody Allan, Dali, Domitrie and Pascale
Balla, balla, balla and Volare
 

Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
 

Saying okey-dokey, sing-a-long a Smokie
Coming out a chokie
 

John Coltrane's soprano, Adie Celentano
Beuno Colino

Yes, yes, dear, dear
Perhaps next year

Or maybe even now
In which case

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Is all my brain and body need
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Are very good indeed

 

Keep your silly ways or throw them out the window
The wisdom of your ways, I've been there and I know
Lots of other ways, what a jolly bad show
If all you ever do is business you don't like

 

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Is very good indeed

 

Every bit of clothing ought to make you pretty
You can cut the clothing, gray is such a pity
I should wear the clothing of Mr. Walter Mitty
See my tailor, he's called Simon, I know it's going to fit

 

Here's a little piece of advice
You're quite welcome it is free
Don't do nothing that is cut price
You know what that'll make you be

 

They will try their tricky device
Trap you with the ordinary
Get your teeth into a small slice
The cake of liberty

 

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and rol

 

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex, drugs, rock, roll, sex, drugs, rock, roll
