I was at a pub the other day

And I was reminded of once when I, I was at the zoo in Bognor
And I saw the monkeys just sitting there
They were getting old and bored and fat
They hoped that I was gonna give them a sweet
But they kinda knew I couldn’t

And they didn’t really want it anyway

I was at a pub the other day

And there they were, staring at the ground

Not a single person made a single sound
I could’ve held a mirror to their mouths

 

Make sure this is not you, just don’t let this be you

Make sure this is not you, don’t let this be you

Don’t live out a life that don’t do it for you now

I was eating out the other day

And there they were, lifeless and lifeless

Married or single made no diff’

The only sign of life they showed was when I spoke

Though I only spoke to my friend, George
In the end I turned my back on them

They started to shout at their two kids, then

After that all four dropped dead

 

Make sure this is not you, just don’t let this be you

Don’t live out a life that don’t do it for you

So go do the thing to make your soul sing now

Don’t live out a life that don’t do it for you

Don’t live out a life that don’t do it for you

So go do the thing to make your soul sing now

 

Fish and chips and rock ‘n’ roll

Candy floss and living on the dole

Needing ointment for their sunburnt skin

 

Oh yeah, yeah
Don’t live out a life that don’t do it for you

Make sure that this is not you

Go do the thing to make your soul sing
