| All those oh! |
| so trendy in their flapper and flair
|
| Delinquent derelict, four walls and a square
|
| Never should you worry about society
|
| The best things in this life are never free
|
| Treat this whole world to a cavalry rout
|
| And when you’ve had enough of go, go, go and get out
|
| Is everybody happy? |
| Well are you happy?
|
| Get a live-in lover, never leave her alone
|
| The lifestyle is impressive, and you’ve moved up a tone
|
| Circulate in circles, leave the centre at home
|
| And happy is this hero, never needing a throne
|
| We’re having a party-and everyone’s welcome-
|
| And if you’ve got no friends-I'm sure we’ll invent some
|
| It’s things and then it’s places
|
| Not people and their faces
|
| It’s things and then it’s places
|
| Not people and their faces. |
| And are you happy?
|
| Don’t go near the water till you learn how to swim
|
| The parodies and prophecies, cataclysm
|
| Probably a proverb, like blood from a stone
|
| And happy is this hero, never needing a throne
|
| It’s things and then it’s places
|
| Not people and their faces |
