Who's Gonna Tell? |
| Who’s gonna tell the orange they’re actually brown? |
| Who’s gonna mop up for grey when they’ve painted the town? |
| It’s the news that everyone dreads; |
| that we’re no longer painting it red |
| That our gag’s still funny, but they’ve opted for a different clown |
| You were great in the sixties, but we’re gonna have to pull you down |
| Nothing like the sound of the shallow jumping in at the deep |
| Royalty’s balloon coming down is a memorable shriek |
| Nothing quite like the sickening clout of the dive into pool drained out |
| You excelled as a Queen, but you’ll have to return the crown |
| You were great in the sixties, but we’re gonna have to pull you down |
| Who’s gonna tell the tall they’re beginning to shrink? |
| Like who’s gonna tell the Swiss they’re no longer in sync? |
| We’ll have to get the maroon in a separate counselling room |
| Say, «It may be your washer, but you seem to be fading to pink» |
| Yesterday’s ice-cool doesn’t take long to melt and sink |
| Who’s gonna tell the cities that are acting like towns |
| They’re actually just a village that the posh surrounds |
| The diplomatic answer to your 25-stone dancer |
| Is your act’s still great, but we can’t keep changing a pound |
| You were Queen in your day, but you’re gonna have to give back the crown |
| You excelled as a Queen, but you’ll have to return the crown |
| You were great in the sixties, but we’re gonna have to pull you down |
| You excelled as a Queen, but you’ll have to return the crown |
| You were great in the sixties, but we’re gonna have to pull you down |
