lyrics

Dodging Coffins at the Swimming Pool

Too many wasps, get back inside
Where were you when Glen Miller died?
The only band I’d ever want to be a part of
The only mood I ever cared about

Strange umbrellas, stranger people
Tuesday’s here for the old and the feeble
And the fools and those who mind the fools
Dodging coffins at the swimming pool

Well let’s go, let’s just leave this world
Let’s go, old girl

There goes driver Tom, he's sweating stout
Says his daughter’s stepping out
Isn't it fun when you’re young and that?
Drivers always tell the lies like that
And I miss you like the old boiled sweets
I miss you like I miss the toilet seat
I miss you so, although
You’re right here beside me

Well let’s go, let’s just leave this world
Let’s go, old girl

Unfair deals and Jeyes Fluid
Have I up and joined the Blue Man Group?
Sitting here in the lavatory
When they fin’lly crown you Miss Purgatory
And how’s this for a triple ball scald
I can’t remember what my dog is called

Well let’s go, let’s just leave this world
Let’s go, old girl
