Idiots

Oh! I'm a stupid little man

I'm a stupid little woman

I'm a stupid little man

I'm a stupid little woman

-

Don't ask me what it means and don't ask me to explain,

Upstairs there's only air where the wind blows through my hair

But I do know what I like and I'm so happy to give advice

-

I'm a non stop talking, a constantly moaning, an always bragging idiot!

Yes I am!

I'm a non stop talking, a constantly moaning, an always bragging idiot!

Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,... yes, yes, I am!

-

How strange my land looks from over the water

I'll never take that journey there again,

How odd is the land over the water

I don't ever want to go back there again.

-

Keep me safe with the lights on

Keep me warm with the door locked

Keep me blinkered in my outlook

Far from the world view

-

Keep me wrapped up, limited, happy and closed-up

You know so well that's how I love to be.

-

(So please) Don't expect I (me to) think for myself, when the choice has never been,

Don't ask any questions, for I'll know not what they mean,

I work the day long at my dull, dirty task,

And when the day is through all I want is to have a laugh.

(Oh!) The children are a blessing, the ticket out of here

A vested interest, a safe investment, just waiting to be lent

And with the proper schooling, a recreation in their pants and vest

Games to play, upstairs - downstairs, their youth already spent

-

Oh! I'm a stupid little man

I'm a stupid little woman

I'm a stupid little man

I'm a stupid little woman

-

I'm a non stop talking, a constantly moaning, an always bragging idiot!

Yes I am!

I'm a non stop talking, a constantly moaning, an always bragging idiot!

Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,... yes, yes, I am!
