I would rejoice the choice not to mess up the mess we're in around here
Sometimes
But I'm not gonna push no one nowhere
Leave nature to its course
Why infringe on a fringe which is precision made unkempt
I don't ask much - just being here is all I attempt
You could maybe say I'm conducting a sociological survey
I ain't ripped off or sucked in on a neater kind of holiday
Can anybody tell me, who is the grand poobah round here?
There's many people under many impressions I've wanted to know all year
A person I know is a pornographic philosopher
She's a dirty joke from one end of the town to the other
I think there must be some mistake here
She's younger than me yet older than my mother
I can't decide if this is lively or lugubrious
But I ain't gonna start facin' about it 'cos loose lips sink loose ships
Pacemakers molest loose hips
Personally I can do without it
But when the asterisk takes over is when you should worry
But never revived your process in pain 'cos who knows - in a week or two
You may wish you hadn't an' make a trip down memory lane
Now I can't decide if it's viscereal or visceral
I've heard of people who are in no hurry
People who are like a dodgy curry
Even more people who don't wanna worry, who get in a flurry
Say they're sorr, don't say they're sorry, don't you call it "corrie"?
Here comes a line!
[Spoken]
"Down boy, down boy! Down boy! Oh, down!
[?]
Into everybody's life, a little rain must fall!
But every cloud has a silver lining!
And you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him wash it all off
When I'm feelin' a little down, these are just a few of the lines I like to think of
And they make me feel good
I got taught them by my pappy, and I hope they might help brighten your day, as they do mine"

(Is that a line?)

Ow!
Darling, any day you'll get my vote (is that a line?)
Darling, I just love you for your new fur coat (is that a line?)
Or is that your hairy shoulders
You could just about part your spine (is that a line?)
This is a line... this is a line
(Is that a line?)

Not so much hitting as missing (is that a line?)
See you at the next bout of pretend kissing (is that a line?)
One spreads one's phlegm around too much (is that a line?)
Bye bye saliva - keep in touch
(Is that a line?)
Beware of these danger spots (is that a line?)
The place where old actresses go to rot (is that a line?)
The trouble with old actresses is that they've always got the same old plots (is that a line?)
I know your lines, I know your lines
(Is that a line?)
Is it a line?
(Is that a line? Is that a line?)
