Big Boys

(album: The Midnight Beast - 2012)

We wrote a parody of a well-known track
And dicked around filming in my parents' flat
Then put it on a well-known video site
And we got a million views in a night

Wasn't it a billion?
I thought it was a trillion.
What the hell?
Let's call it a squillion!
If you haven't heard of us then wake up!
We're the Midnight Beast
We like to say "Fuck"

Toured the UK and sold out some shows
Even though we didn't think anybody would go
Then Channel 4 asked if we'd come in for a chat
And knocked us all out with a baseball bat

We woke up surrounded by staff
Telling us we're funny and "You make us laugh!"
They pleaded and begged to make a beast show
Telling us they'd give us everything
But we said....

SURE
Big boys
Yeah, we're big boys
We're much bigger than small boys
'Cause we're big boys
Living in a big-boy world, a big-boy world, a big-boy world
We just moved out

To our very own flat on Channel 4
In our very own show on Channel 4
Then they explained we weren't good enough for Channel 4
But we'd be on the subsidiary of Channel 4

E4! Wooh! It's our new home!
But Made in Chelsea sucks!
Hey leave it alone!
We're not bregging but our show's the greatest show ever made
So thanks E4 for this lemonade

Big boys
Yeah, we're big boys
We're much bigger than small boys
'Cause we're big boys
Living in a big-boy world, a big-boy world, a big-boy world
(We just moved out)
