Mumbo Jumbo

(albüm: East Side Story - 1981)

Eyebrows plucked and toenails cut
I'll pick you up with a little luck, all prim and proper
Shaven legs and calls to Fred
It all depends o' all right then, I can not stop her
The makeup box has always got
Ever such a lot of odds and sods, in there to offer
She needs paints to make her face
And make her late again and again
So I'll knock her
The tick is tocker

Mumbo jumbo words to say
Are you coming out
Coming out
Coming out to play?
With a broken nose on a sunny day
I would bet
I would bet
None of these girls would ever care
Or get upset
Or get upset

Short and fat with a fishnet hat
And a hungry cat in a nice new flat, with her Scrabble
Sits by the phone when she's all alone
And on her own it's a mental home, full of babble
Writes with charm to uncle farm
With a broken arm in a broken barn, feeds the cattle
She hears the hens as she takes the pen
And it's now and now it's then
She would saddle
The dip is dabbled

Mumbo jumbo words to say
Are you coming out
Coming out
Coming out to play?
With a broken nose on a sunny day
I would bet
I would bet
None of these girls would ever care
Or get upset
Or get upset

Kissing curls and boyish girls
For all the pearls in all the world, wouldn't have me
If I had oil and money to spoil
I'd mix with loyal and I get some royal, little lassie
I'm up at nine down the line
To watch the time till half past five
I wish they'd sack me
She's at home the milkman's home
To have a farm and seeds to sow
It makes her happy
The chip is chappie

Mumbo jumbo words to say
Are you coming out
Coming out
Coming out to play?
With a broken nose on a sunny day
I would bet
I would bet
None of these girls would ever care
Or get upset
Or get upset
