"Tall Thin Men" lyrics

"Tall Thin Men"

I'm not one of those tall thin men who like show tunes
I'm not that twee
Carousel is
Les Mis as well is
Living hell for me

'Cause I'm not one of those tall thin men who likes show tunes
On the West End stage
Ute Lemper
Puts me in a temper
And so does Elaine flaming Paige

I would rather go clubbing
Than sit through for Phantom or Cats
They're so sad
I get mad
And never ever wanna
Listen to Madonna
Singing "Don't cry for me, Argentina"
Gimme "Get into the groove"
Some house or garage
A banging barrage
Of mixing to make me move

'Cause I'm the type of a tall thin man who likes no tunes
When I get on one
And in a coma
Oklahoma!
Is still too bloody long
I would pay a fine
Not to stand in line
Just to see Miss Saigon
