0 lucky lucky me
I can live here in luxury
Can’t answer your simplicity
You’ve got to stop your grumbling
And all that human bondage den
And try to make a man of me
Oh never never let me go
The flaming flesh that wonder hole
Where violence equals zero
You’ve got to stop your grumbling
And all that human bondage den
Beef cake and custard to a big hero
Hey ho strike one
Last one in’s a son of a gun
Hey ho strike two
Can’t fight here, this is the war room
So kiss me quickly who’ll oblige?
So come along now don’t be shy
Don’t be all surface no insides
You’ve got to stop your grumbling
And all that human bondage den
So swear the heat in baby
No neck ties
Hey ho strike one
Last one in’s a son of a gun
Hey ho strike two
Can’t fight here, this is the war room
Hey ho strike three
Action stations I’m ready
Hey ho strike four
My durango supercar
Hey ho strike five
Wake up now it’s time to die
Hey ho strike six
Flopnik kaputnik
Hey ho strike seven
Kissing at five, necking at eleven
Hey ho strike eight
Decided to co-operate
Hey ho strike nine
Gonna have us a crackin’good time
Hey ho strike ten
Flowers, bullets, zen and zen
