Dainties in a jam-jar, parson's colour in the sky
Water in a fountain doesn't get me very high
Moby Dick and Albert making out with Captain Bligh
So you know what you know in your head

Will you, won't you, do you, don't you
Know when a head's dead
What a bringdown

Winter leader Lou is growin' 'ampsteads in the North
Betty B's been wearin' daisies since the twenty-fourth
Where's a gunner when there's one more coming forth
And you know what you know in your head.

Will you, won't you, do you, don't you
Wanna go to bed
What a bringdown

There's a tea-leaf about in the family
Full of nothin' their fairy tale
There's a tea-leaf a-floatin' now for Rosalie
They'll believe in ding-dong bell

Take a butchers at the dodginesses of old Bill
Aristotle's orchestra are living on the pill
One of them gets very very prickly when he's ill
And you know what you know in your head

Will you, won't you, do you, don't you
Wanna make more bread
What a bringdown.
