Ian Dury - Do It Yourself (40th Anniversary Edition)

There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards

Noel Coward was a charmer
As a writer, he was bramer
Velvet jackets and pyjamas
The gay, divorce and other dramas

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards

Van Gogh did some eyeball pleasers
He must have been a pencil squeezer
He didn't do the Mona Lisa
That was an Italian geezer

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards

Einstein can't be classed as witless
He claimed atoms were the littlest
When you did a bit of splitlingness
Frightened everybody shitless

There ain't half been some clever bastards
Probably got help from their mum who had help from her mum
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Now that we've had some, let's hope that there's lots more to come

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some, clever bastards

Okie dokie
Oh, Segovia
La-la-la-la, ta-da-da-di
Ti-tum-di-dum-ti-tum, di-didle-da-di

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever, bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever
Bastards
