Lyrics Dance of the Crackpots - Ian Dury , The Blockheads
Oh,
let′s
get
up
and
let's
get
excited
It′s
a
public
party
and
you're
all
invited
Let's
cut
the
custard,
see
the
mustard
Please
hold
steady
till
we′re
maladjusted
Sing
boop-ba-de-boop,
sing
twiddle-de-de
Invite
the
Germans
home
for
tea
Let
them
mock
and
let
them
sneer
The
wise
young
crackpot
knows
no
fear
The
emancipation
that′s
sweeping
the
nation
When
it
seemed
the
world
was
sunk
You
can
bet
your
boots
on
your
own
pursuits
History
is
bunk
From
Rosemary
Clooney
to
Jerry
Lee
Lewis
From
Debussy
to
Thelonius
Monk
It's
the
modern
art
of
the
human
heart
The
shape
of
things
to
funk,
funk,
funk
Let′s
see
you
do
it,
you
always
knew
it
It's
totally
impossible
to
misconstrue
it
In
sight
of
the
fact
and
in
spite
of
the
fashion
Living
is
a
lap-top
animated
fashion
Pay
no
attention
to
the
bones
of
contention
Do
the
new-age
boogie
for
the
old-age
pension
Let
them
stop
and
let
them
snore
We′ll
be
glad
that
we
were
born
Motivation
is
the
new
sensation
The
fantasy
that
keeps
you
fit
On
the
human
assumption,
you
don't
have
the
gumption
Get
up
and
do
your
bit
Being
daft
is
a
therapy
craft
Which
sharpens
up
your
wits
Totally
enthusic
about
the
music
And
it
shows
in
the
face
you
sit,
sit,
sit
Oh,
let′s
get
up
and
let's
get
excited
It's
a
public
party
and
you′re
all
invited
Let′s
cut
the
custard,
see
the
mustard
Please
hold
steady
till
we're
maladjusted
Sing
boop-ba-de-boop,
sing
twiddle-de-de
Invite
the
Germans
home
for
tea
Let
them
mock
and
let
them
sneer
Wise
young
crackpots
know
no
fear
Emancipation
that′s
sweeping
the
nation
Worldwide

You
can
