Lyrics
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
That boy certainly transferred himself from the footballer before
You'd hardly recognise him
As a child, everywhere he went probably people would say
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
It was symbolic to a point
But nowadays, eccentric lad who keeps false plastic women's bosoms
The Wright stuff!
How did he find the Wright stuff?
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
I said, nowadays
Eccentric lad
He keeps false plastic women's bosoms under his TV desk and dressing room
Oh yes
Growing up, his family had no problems with nudity
In fact, this held his dad in good stead on I'm A Celebrity
(Doo doo doo doo)
(Doo doo doo doo)
Get Me Out Of Here
(Doo doo doo doo)
Comprehensive in thought, he overlooks the fake camera from his desk
The Wright stuff!
Who did he find the Wright stuff?
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Everybody wore the same
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
He overlooks the mock camera from his desk
For it's the wettest London weather, for, in his memory at least, ever
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Everybody wore the same
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Look at her
When that woman trapped her scarf in the tube
And some inconsiderable passenger left the window open
The wind was blowing
The Wright stuff!
How did he find the Wright stuff?
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
The Wright stuff
Everybody wore the same
The Wright stuff!
How did he find the Wright stuff?
How did he find the plastic bosoms
Everybody wore the same
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
You're gorging every can of food
Because you can't find the Wright stuff!
How did he find the Wright stuff?
Everybody wore the same
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
The Wright stuff
How did he find the false bosoms
How did he find the Wright stuff
His dad in the middle
His mum with the scar
The Wright stuff
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Everybody wore the same
Money wasn't tight
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo
The Wright stuff!
How did he find the Wright stuff?
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Everybody wore the same
That boy
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
That scar
Her hat
The wind
The window left open, so inconsiderate of him
The Wright stuff
How did he find
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Her head hurts
He left the window open again
Doo doo doo doo doo
It won't happen again
People would say
He would look around
He would see his memory collage
His parents, naked
