"What A Bringdown" lyrics

"What A Bringdown"

Dainties in a jam-jar, parson's collar 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

Little leader Lou is growing Hampsteads in the north
Betty B's been wearing daisies since the twenty-fourth
Wears 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 naught in the flowery dell
There's a tea leaf a-floatin' now for Rosalie
Bells will ring ding-dong-bell

Take a butcher's at the dodgy missus 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
Yeah
