Hook: Sha la la la la la lar x4
Mark: This is our new song,
Lard: We think that it's alright,
M: It's got a good hookline, but the lyrics..
L: Absolutely S****.
L: Here comes the chorus,
M: This is quite a good bit,
L: But if we're honest,
M: We're struggling with the words a bit.
All: Sha la la la la la lar x4
L: I wondered lonely
A, a, ah, a, ah, as a cloud,
M: You`ve pinched that off Wordsworth,
L: Well isn't that allowed?
M: Of course it's not,
L: What d'yer mean,
M: We`ve got to write our own words,
Or Wordsworth's lawyer will knobble us,
L: Well I`ll give it a go our kid,
Tra la lar, de dum, de Cobblers,
All: Sha la la la la la lar x4
M: Low slow Bass Solo,
(Twangy Guitar Bit)
All: Sha la la la la la lar x6
