Thousands On A Raft |
| They took hold of my good idea |
| Then put it down and laughed |
| They said I needed several more |
| And now I’m working on the set |
| Of thousands on a raft |
| Thousands on a raft |
| They knew that I’d been buffaloed |
| And hippoed and giraffed |
| They knew how bad my training was |
| And now I’m on safari |
| With thousands on a raft |
| Oh thousands on a raft |
| They push for all they’re worth |
| Tied together to prevent |
| Falling off the earth |
| So kick your neighbour overboard |
| And take the plunge yourself |
| You might end up as a sponge |
| On somebody’s shelf |
| They’re dancing in the mines tonight |
| Along the sunlit shafts |
| It reminds me of my last head |
| And now I sleep with Constance Fright |
| And thousands on a raft |
| Thousands on a raft |
| I looked into the future years |
| And all I saw was graft |
| I think it was from town to town |
| So now I’m living on the road |
| With thousands on a raft |
| Thousands on a raft |
| Oh thousands on a raft |
| Think it’s sink or swim |
| No one stands much of a chance |
| It’s you or me or him |
| So grab hold of the nearest soul |
| And save it if you can |
| You might end up as its lunch |
| Or become a van |
| I slept out in the howling gale |
| And didn’t feel the draught |
| I was thinking something very warm |
| Now I’m in jail inside the whale |
| With thousands on a raft |
| Thousands on a raft |
| My future’s in a paper cup |
| My body’s overstuffed |
| I forgot when I last saw a face |
| And now I’m drifting out to sea |
| With thousands on a raft |
| Thousands on a raft |
