This Year's Thing
Roll up, roll upThe greatest show on earthAnimals, clowns, freaks, misfits, contortionistsFun for all the familyCurrently residing in the 'where are they now' fileAll tied up in elasticStubborn like weeds they've been here all the whileI saw the egos growIn good working order adjustable spannerIndustry junkiesRegurgitated cabaret under the hammerThey were running the show(Chorus)Let's hear it for this year's thingCome onLast year's thingCome onNext year's thingCome on(Repeat)Step right this wayThrills chills and spillsMarvel at the daring featsPure entertainmentKaraoke sex we can spend the night togetherI made a date with ElvisSongtexteWhile someone does a runner with the group's bread and butterI heard the colonel singFrom a packet of twenty when will they learn?SickalongaDanbertThat for one good smoke there's nineteen that burnI never saw the strings attached to(Repeat chorus)Jump a little higherLive by fire die by fireI am the dog in the mangerOr a dodgy brown packet with suspicious-looking wiresHere's my starter for tenBehind that pane of glass your special backstage passHear the never-has-beensMeet the manager with his kecks down and kiss his arseAnd watch it happen againThis time it's(Repeat chorus)One, two, three, fourThis year's thing, this year's thing, this year's thingPolitics is this year's thing(Repeat)
