A serious man, in need of a definitive job He had drunk too much mandrake anthrax Pro-re, pro-re, oh Loron
Tormented tots, with Burton weeping His idiot contacts Pro-re, pro-re Pro-re, pro-re
Put your claim into Tempo House Go round there to Tempo House Go round and have a grouse Put your claim into Tempo House
Roll the chubby round jowls Roll the chubby round jowls And Burton is weeping His chairs are weeping God damn the pedantic Welsh Pro-re, pro-re, Loron, Loron
Put your claim into Tempo House Put your claim into Tempo House Go round and have a grouse Put your claim into Tempo House Put your claim, put your claim
I'd sing "Solitaire" for the B.E.F. But who wants to be with them, anyway? Snow on Easter Sunday, Jesus Christ in reverse I tell ya, the Dutch are weeping in four languages at least Oloron Pro-re, pro-re Pro-re, pro-re
And Burton is weeping
Put your claim into Tempo House Put your claim into Tempo House Go round and have a grouse Put your claim into Tempo House Put your claim, put your claim, put your claim, put your claim Put your claim, put your claim Put your claim
Illness, pollution, should be encouraged and let loose Then maybe some would have a genuine grouse Spring right out of the fetters Right away from six three Market Place Tempo House address Pro-re, pro-re Loron
Winston Churchill had a speech imp-p-p-pediment, and look what he did Erased half of London And the Dutch are weeping, lusted after French paintings Pro-re, pro-re Oloron Oloron
Put your claim into Tempo House Go round there and have a grouse Go round, have a grouse Put your claim into Tempo House Pro-re, pro-re Pro-re, pro-re Put your claim, put your claim
