Lyrics There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards - Ian Dury

Noel Coward was a charmer
As a writer he was bramer
Velvet jackets and pyjamas
The gay, divorce and other dramas
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Van Gogh did some eyeball pleasers
He must have been a pencil squeezer
He didn't do the Mona Lisa
That was an Italian geezer
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Einstein can't be classed as witless
He claimed atoms were the littlest
When you did a bit of splitlingness
Frightened everybody shitless
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Probably got help from their mum who had help from her mum
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Now that we've had some let's hope that there's lots more to come
There ain't half been some clever
Bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
Okie dokie
Oh!... Segovia
La la la lum ta da dadi
Ti tum di dum ti tum
Di didle da di
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever...
Bastards
