Oh i was walking down the street
When a man came up to me
And said don't i know you?
And i said, well, you might do
But the thing is ooh, the thing is
I don't know you-
Now i was driving in my car
And i had not gone very far
When from out of nowhere
I thought i saw a big bear
But the thing is ooh, the thing is
No bear was there -
Did somebody here just mention (hong kong)
Isn't that the place where suzi (wong's form)
I saw the film (and did you like it?)
Well, to be honest i didn't mind it.
Oh, i was sitting back in my chair
When a man came on the air
And said, well, hello there
And, i said, well, hello there
But the thing is (but the thing is)
Ooh, the thing is (ooh, the thing is)
I don't have a radio
I don't have a radio
But i've got a sister in crewe
I don't have a radio
I don't have a radio
And i've got a brother there, too.
Do you?
Interlude
That's all for now
But before you turn to the other side
You can go out
With a taste of the music i'll provide
There are songs that i've written recently like...
(extract)
And some that were written previously
Why not hear-me
