Helmet

I can remember how it started

I'd follow the firemen

I'd dreamed of the astronauts

They looked so happy in their shiny metal headgear

I knew that inside they were smiling

Ba da da da da da

Ba da da da da da

Ba da da da da da

Ya dop ba dop ba dop ba dop bop



My mother feared I was abnormal

I'd take out the colandar

And put it on my head

People are happy when they know that they're protected

Just let me tell you why I'm smiling



I've got my helmet on

Nothing can do me wrong

I've got my helmet on

Ya dop ba dop ba dop ba dop bop



In shining rows they sit in every beauty parlour

Down in the coal mines lighting the way

From distant battlefields to the tiniest motor scooter

There is peace on every single face



My friends all tell me I'm retreating

But how can they argue

With true serenity

If they would only try just once to wear a helmet

The world would soon be a better place



Come try my helmet on

Nothing will do you wrong

Come try my helmet on

Ya dop ba dop ba dop ba dop bop



In shining rows they sit in every beauty parlour

Serenity on every face



Come try my helmet on

Nothing will do you wrong

Come try my helmet on

Ya dop ba dop ba dop ba dop bop



Come try my helmet on

Nothing will do you wrong

Come try my helmet on

Ya dop ba dop ba dop ba dop bop



Come try my helmet on

Nothing will do you wrong

Come try my helmet on

Ya dop ba dop ba dop ba dop bop

Baaaaaaaaaap
