If you want to build a shed
Go ahead and build a shed
And if you want to ride a bike
Ride your bike, if you like
But don’t pick your nose
Or your ears’ll grow, don’t you know?
And if you want to grease a wheel
If that’s how you feel, grease a wheel
And if you want to paint a gate
It’s not too late to paint your gate
But wear a vest in case of chills
And don’t bolt your meals
So if you want to build a shed
Go ahead and build a shed
And if you want to ride a bike
Ride your bike, if you like
But never listen to
What anyone is telling you
“Screams In The Ears” .: top
Offer your sherry to somebody else
I’ve got nothing to say
‘Cept my wife’s in the bedroom with everyone else
But I don’t want to play
Will you stop asking me who I am?
Go and find someone else
To tell your jokes to
What a great party this is
Though you’ve got me alone, the records still moan
I’ve got nothing but screams in my ears
I’ve just put a cigarette out
No thanks, I don’t want another beer
Will you stop asking me who I am?
Go and find someone else
To tell your jokes to
What a great party this is
Well they told me the budgerigar
Committed suicide
But it was you, I saw you put that gin in its water
I was standing by your side
Will you stop asking me who I am?
Go and find someone else
To tell your jokes to
What a great party this is
