Chumbawamba This Year's Thing
Roll up roll up The greatest show on Earth Animals clowns freaks misfits contortionists Fun for all the family Currently residing in the "where are they now" file All tied up in elastic Stubborn like weeds they've been here all the while I saw the egis grow In good working order adjustable spanner Industry junkies Regurgitated cabaret under the hammer They were running the show Let's hear it for this year's thing Last year's thing Next year's thing Step right this way Thrills chills and spills Marvel at the daring feats Pure entertainment Karaoke sex we can spend the night together I made a date with Elvis While someone does a runner with the group's bread and butter I heard the colonel sing From a packet of twenty when will they learn Sickalongadanbert That for one good smoke there's nineteen that burn I never saw the strings Attached to This year's thing Last year's thing Next year's thing Jump a little higher Live by fire die by fire I am the dog in the manger Or a dodgy brown packet with suspicious-looking wires Here's my starter for ten Behind that pane of glass your special backstage pass Hear the never-has-been Meet the manager with his kex down and kiss his arse And watch what happen again This time it's this year's thing Last year's thing Next year's thing Politics is this year's thing
