These are danger days
   What sort of day is this?
   These are troubled times
   D'ya know what time it is?
   There it goes again
   Another gear being slipped
   I must be near the sea
   A single cod n' chips
   A cup of tea for three
   An' 6 including v.a.t.
   Around the rugged rocks
   A round trip there and back
   The helter-skelter's free
   (Don't tell mad Charlie that)
   I'd send a bloody card
   But he'd want a bloody snap.
  
   I'd stay at home today
   But the world said
   Go man go
   Everybody said
   Go man go
   The local postman said
   Go man go
   Do-do, oy, oy vey.
  
   I feel so down, so low, too tired to think
   I feel so low, oh no, well what do you think?
   My feet slow down, ah so well, I can't lift my head
   A fevered brow, ho no, think I'll stay here in bed
   Thunder over Tokyo
   Pressure on my eyes
   Hi-fi on their heads
   While they tidy the tides
   Dear Aunti Fifi
   You should see this place
   They'd grow a cushion on your back,
   An' a flu mask on your face
   I'd stay at home today
   but the world said
   Go man go
   In Japanese they said
   Hayacho cho wazza woko
   I heard someone say
   Go man go
   And we went
   Do do oy oy vey.
