“For God’s sake it’s my holiday! I deserve a god-damned rest Turn the bloody phone off dear And come back to our nest…” “R and R for breakfast R and R for tea R and R for supper Yes, a cocktail dear for me!” “Hand me that there newspaper… I’ll roll it nice and tight That fly buzzin’ round my head Will soon be out of sight” "Ah such is life! This is bliss! Can't beat livin' it up like this Don't forget the cherries dear! Do you want another beer?" “By the way, what’s your name? How’d you find me; what’s your game? Should have guessed, now I see There’s a COBRA meeting needing me…” “Do I have a stance? Certainly, I do! Hand me that damned glass and wish ‘em How’d-y-do!” “Let them frizzle, let them frazzle Let them starve, burn, de-hydrate Let then walk, let them wait Let them, I suppose, eat cake! What’s this heat, will soon be gone Then winter will be comin’ on They’ll no doubt moan and gripe About that cost-of-living tripe Can’t really see what’s all the fuss Why bother me… go ask Truss - What’s three grand to cook, wash, heat Damn it man, to me that’s cheap! Thunder, lightning, flooding, storm! Heavens man! It's just the norm! Go and chase up someone else I’m busy sunning awesome self And by the way, when you’re passing through… Give old COBRA how’d-y-do!”
