          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
