Letra da Música: Reasons To Be Cheerful (Part 3) - Ian Dury

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

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

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

Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)

Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good Golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley, add nanny goats

Eighteen-wheeler Scammels, Domineker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're 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 the 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 the potty, curing smallpox

Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful - one, two, three

Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)

Health service glasses, gigolos and brasses
Round or skinny bottoms

Take your mum to Paris, lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico

Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motor sickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
Balabalabala and Volare

Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying 'okey-dokey', singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey

John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celantano
Bonar Colleano

Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful - one, two, three

Yes, yes, dear, dear, perhaps next year
Or maybe even never
In which case .....

Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
