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
