I hope you're happy now
That's the limit, that's enough
Time somebody called your bluff
You over educated thug
Degrees in looking down your nose
And supercilious repose
Plus a Phd in smug
Wind your neck in, shut your gob
You're just a bully and a snob
You're just a loud, pretentious hack
I'd make you squeal, I'd make you run
I'd punch your lights out one by one
If I hadn't hurt my back
With your new model army ethic
And your old Public schoolboy charm
You're a star
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're having fun at my expense
Well excuse me if I pause to take offence
And excuse me if I don't bend over
Well, I'm not one to anger quick
You condescending little prick
It takes a lot to get my goat
One day a better man than I
Will feed you fist and humble pie
And I'll be there to hold his coat
With your oh so assured manor
And your own so adoring clan
You're the man
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're having fun at my expense
Well excuse me if I stoop to take offence
And excuse me if I don't bend over
You've had your fun, you've had your say
And now I'm wiping you away
Like something nasty on my shoe
Yeah, I won't sink to take your bait
Cos I love better than I hate
And I won't waste a drop on you
(Not if you were on fire)
Time somebody called your bluff
You over educated thug
Degrees in looking down your nose
And supercilious repose
Plus a Phd in smug
Wind your neck in, shut your gob
You're just a bully and a snob
You're just a loud, pretentious hack
I'd make you squeal, I'd make you run
I'd punch your lights out one by one
If I hadn't hurt my back
With your new model army ethic
And your old Public schoolboy charm
You're a star
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're having fun at my expense
Well excuse me if I pause to take offence
And excuse me if I don't bend over
Well, I'm not one to anger quick
You condescending little prick
It takes a lot to get my goat
One day a better man than I
Will feed you fist and humble pie
And I'll be there to hold his coat
With your oh so assured manor
And your own so adoring clan
You're the man
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're having fun at my expense
Well excuse me if I stoop to take offence
And excuse me if I don't bend over
You've had your fun, you've had your say
And now I'm wiping you away
Like something nasty on my shoe
Yeah, I won't sink to take your bait
Cos I love better than I hate
And I won't waste a drop on you
(Not if you were on fire)
