Friday night is bath night this is what they say
We are gonna dig the groove, we've waited all day
We wear trendy trousers with belts a mile too long
We are gonna catch the bus into the town
We are boogie on down...
CHORUS:
Dig that groove ba-a-by (repeat)
Dig dig dig dig digga that groove baby.
There they are again covered in Old Spice
They think they will get the girls cause
they smell nice,
They all call me riff raff
'Coz I wear a Crombie
I couldn't stand it being just like them
they all look like puffs not men
CHORUS
See that trendy there she used to be a punk
Now she's off to the disco to listen to junk
Her boyfriend was a skinhead
He used to shout Oi! Oi!
Play that funky music that's what they say now
Come with me and I'll show you how...
CHORUS
CHORUS:
Victory if Glenda she, had a baby, oooeee,
Things were looking gloomy and Glenda she was sad,
Kevin had been out with Carol Sands,
But Glenda she though surely,
It can't be that bad, if I had a baby,
CHORUS
Glenda went round to the doctors the next day,
You can't have a baby, that's what he said,
Glenda did not give up she's got this book to read,
Of how to have a test tube baby....
CHORUS
Glenda's Dad had just died and she was unhappy,
If only she could have a baby,
So to the disapproval of Kevin and his mam,
She signed up for a baby...
CHORUS
Oh sittin in the Taxi rank in Park Lane
in comes a trendy geazer with no brain,
and staring at a punk who was a good mate,
I said lets make a move but it was too late
CHORUS:
Up goes a shout, a rumble in the crowd
a fight breaks out, someone starts clouting me,
call in the Army oooh
call in the Army
call in the Army oooh
call in the Army...
The Park Lane punch up escalates
somebody's teeth have gone
it's too much for the coppers
there's a RIOT going on, so
call in the Army, call in the Army...
Park Lane quickly turns into a bloothbath
a disco boy lies unconcious on the red path,
Coppers helmets knocked off in the gutter
all because of a trendy towny nutter
CHORUS
I'm always felling lonely
I'm always feeling blue
she was the one and only
she said sheloved me too
but now she's gone and left me
just like they always do

I don't know what to do
I'm always on a downer
I should be feeling fine
I'm never on a upper

to bring me happiness
So give him a bottle of that fizzy stuff

CHORUS:
Now we've found the answer

So give him a bottle of that fizzy stuff...CHORUS
That's what they call me, Lambrusco Kid
That's what they call me, I'm the Lambrusco Kid

I need another drink.
So give him a bottle of that fizzy stuff...CHORUS
Things do go wrong, it's not long since I've been blue,
But I know the remedy, I can see just what to do...
Don't be a coward, don't be yellow,
It always pays to be mellow,
Stay cool, stay free and then you will see,
It's best to stay mellow...
I was upset and in debt with no money,
But I did not stay sad, it's not that bad, so remember...
Oh if you are down in the town with no bus fare,
Start walking and smile, in a while you'll be back home...
Oh I never sneeze when you're around,
and you never think I have a cold,
but when I'm all alone I I Ityshoo I need,

My nose never runs when you're around,
and you never think I have the flu,
but when I really do I I Ityshoo I need,

Everytime I go out I get the flu,

Frederick Street was on the news tonight
outside Fosters club had been a fight
and everytime you go to dig the beat
you will hear a yelp and somebody shouting for help...
CHORUS:
Hello, hello, hello, hello, who's down there?
who's down there?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, who's down there?
who's down there?
in the fisticuffs in Frederick Street
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, you don't wanna be,
we don't wanna be there..
Fosters club was full up to the brim
everybody risking life and limb
and just to go and pose at the disco
but posing wasn't easy and the D.J.
he got queasy, blow by blow...
CHORUS
Everything's silent on Frederick Street
a lonely policeman walks the beat...
before long everybody'll know
that Fosters club is not the place to go
unless you want your head kicking in
you will hear a yelp and somebody shouting for help...
CHORUS
I was getting dressed late one night
along came a spider and I got a fright
oh I could not squash it flat
No matter how I tried,
And when it looked me in the eye
I ran away to hide...
I put on me Doctor Martin shoes
A battle with the spider that I wasn't gonna loose
A kick from the left a kick from the right
I was on the floor but I was alright
It was gonna be a long long night
CHORUS:
Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware
(repeat twice)
Things were getting hot and I had to take a chance
The spider got impatient
Started crawling up me pants
I shook it off me legthump it hit the ground
Everything was silent so I didn't make a sound
I crossed the room as happy as can be
I had killed the spider now it couldn't bother me
But with me arm on the light
He was there ready for a fight
It was gonna be a long long night.
CHORUS
It was getting late and the spider wasn't dead
An audience had gathered round
And I was going red
I put a jam jar on the floor
the spider crawled inside it
I screwed the lid back on the top
And threw the jar outside
At a party late that night
Everything was bright and gay
We played all our pop records and danced the night away,
Early in the morning came a knocking at the door
I opened it slowly guess what I saw
It was gonna be a long long night...
CHORUS
Every night I know that she goes to Finos,
and every night I know that she see's him
Every night she holds him tight at Finos
and everynight it's alright for him...
CHORUS:
and she goes... La la la la la la la to Finos
yes she goes... la la la la la la la with him,
and she goes... La la la la la la la to Finos
yes she goes... la la la la la la la...
Every night I try to get into Finos
and every night they just won't let me in,
and everynight I watch him meet her at Finos
and every night it's alright for him...
CHORUS
One of these nights I'm gonna get into Finos
and one of this nights I'm gonna make her see me,
and every night I'm gonna get into Finos
and everynight will be alright for me...
CHORUS
Steve is tender Steve is sweet
she'll never let him go
Steven made her life complete
That's why I hate him so
Would she ever really understand
I came to Durham all the way from Sunderland,
when I got there I could not believe
she'd gone with that trendy creep called Steve
How could she forsake me and see this puff,
is it coz of me she's had enough
everytime I rang she was not there
I'm sorry but she's out, she's out with Steve again somewhere!
CHORUS:
She's in love with Steven, Steven
gonna get even, gonna get Steven,
then she won't love Steven, Steven
gonna get eve, gonna get Steve.
Are she and Steve really in love like she says they are
or is it just because Steven's dad lends him the car
or is it coz I'm ugly and Steven's not
or does he have something that I haven't got
CHORUS
I'm gonna make him black & blue
I'm gonna kick his head in
he won't know what to do
CHORUS
To Bombay a travelling circus came, they brought an
inteligent elephant and Nellie was her name
One dark night she slipped her iron chain
and off she ran to Hindustan
ans was never seen again.. oooooo
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump.
New Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trundled off to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump.
..The head of the herd was calling far far away
They met one night in the silver light on the road to Mandalay...
Night by night she danced to the circus band
When Nelli was leading the big parade she looked so proud and grand
No more tricks for Nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow and she took the crowd by storm..
oooooooooooo
