Set a thief to catch a thief
Send a cheque for famine relief
Here's a joke to tell to your birds of a feather
What does it take to get The Beatles back together?
Three bullets and a gun, my son
Telling jokes about John, Paul, George and Ringo
Getting back together
I wouldn't tell Yoko never

One day I'm going to earn a living
Sing of love and life's misgivings
One day I'm going to use my brain behind the boy's on the gravytrain

Well I wish I was the prophet of shite poor storyteller like the Bard of Woking
Dim-wit Weller, dim-wit Weller
Who loves the Queen and who votes Tory?
Come on joker read us a story
Who loves the Queen and who votes Tory?
Come on joker read us a story

One day I'm going to earn a living
Sing of love and life's misgivings
One day I'm going to use my brain behind the boy's on the gravytrain

Well is this a promise or is this a threat
Tell you the truth is, I'm not sure yet
I'm not sure yet
Well stick around midroad writers while I sort out the wheat from the chaff
I'm a straight talking fighter coming straight from the snotty backbiters

One day I'm going to earn a living
Sing of love and life's misgivings
One day I'm going to use my brain behind the boy's on the gravytrain

On the gravytrain (X 7)
