As a Rule
Now I'm not, I'm not in anyway a prude
But the sight of two people cavorting on stage
Doing what can only be termed a natural act
Is unless you wear a raincoat, only good for a laugh
As a rule, I never smoke while on duty
It just isn't on, do I make myself clear
Though at times if there's nobody looking, I will
I mean, life's too short and if I didn't smoke, I bet
What with the luck that I have?
I'd probably die of worry, and that would be
That would be, that would be that
Who would have thought it was humanly possible
To mate an elephant with a kangaroo
Well, as my dear old mother once said in a rage
Next thing you know, they'll have pigs on the stage
Whoever said blue skies were better than red
Must have been talking from out of his hat
I mean whose ever heard of a blue sky at night
I don't like waiting or suffocating in overcrowded tubes
But I like good wine with my dinner, don't you?
Yes, we do, yes, we do, yes, we do
Yes, we do, yes, we do, yes, we do, yes, we do
But the sight of two people cavorting on stage
Doing what can only be termed a natural act
Is unless you wear a raincoat, only good for a laugh
As a rule, I never smoke while on duty
It just isn't on, do I make myself clear
Though at times if there's nobody looking, I will
I mean, life's too short and if I didn't smoke, I bet
What with the luck that I have?
I'd probably die of worry, and that would be
That would be, that would be that
Who would have thought it was humanly possible
To mate an elephant with a kangaroo
Well, as my dear old mother once said in a rage
Next thing you know, they'll have pigs on the stage
Whoever said blue skies were better than red
Must have been talking from out of his hat
I mean whose ever heard of a blue sky at night
I don't like waiting or suffocating in overcrowded tubes
But I like good wine with my dinner, don't you?
Yes, we do, yes, we do, yes, we do
Yes, we do, yes, we do, yes, we do, yes, we do
