Lyrics Reasons to Be Cheerful, Pt. 3 - Ian Dury , The Blockheads

(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)

Reasons to be cheerful, part three
(One, two, three)

Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley add nanny goats
18-wheeler Scammells, thumbing out the candles
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it, yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40, no electric shocks
The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret, anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty
Sitting on the potty, curing small pox

Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful
One, two, three

Reasons to be cheerful, part three

Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses
Round or skinny bottoms
Take your mum to Paris
Lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico
Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
Balabalabala and Volare
Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey
John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful
One, two, three

Yes, yes
Dear, dear
Perhaps next year
Or maybe even never
In which case

Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful
One, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful
One, two, three

(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)

Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful
One, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful
One, two, three
