it's a god awful small affair

to the girl with the mousy hair

but her mother is yelling no

and her father has told her to go

but her friend is nowhere to be seen

as she walks through her sunken dream

to the seat with the clearest view

and she's hooked to the silver screen

but the film is a saddening bore

cause she's lived it ten times or more

she could spit at the eyes of fools

as they ask her to focus on

sailors fighting in the dancehall

oh man, look at those cavemen go

it's the freakiest show

take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy

wough man, wonder if he'll ever know

he's in the best selling show

is there life on mars?

it's on amerika's tortured brow

and mickey mouse has grown up a cow

now the workers have struck for fame

cause lennon's on sale again

see the mice in their million hordes

from ibiza to the norfolk broades

rule britannia is out of bounds to my mother,

my dog and clowns

but the film is a saddening bore

cause i wrote it ten times before

it's about to be writ again as i ask you to focus on

sailors...
