I Read The News Today Oh Boy


About A Lucky Man Who Made The Grade


And Though The News Was Rather Sad


Well I Just Had To Laugh


I Saw The Photograph.





He Blew His Mind Out In A Car


He Didn't Notice That The Lights Had Changed


A Crowd Of People Stood And Stared


They'd Seen His Face Before


Nobody Was Really Sure If He Was From The House Of Lords.





I Saw A Film Today Oh Boy


The English Army Had Just Won The War


A Crowd Of People Turned Away


But I Just Had A Look


Having Read A Book I'd Like To Turn You On...





Woke Up, Fell Out Of Bed,


Dragged A Comb Across My Head


Found My Way Downstairs And Drank A Cup,


And Looking Up I Noticed I Was Late.





Found My Coat And Grabbed My Hat


Made The Bus In Seconds Flat


Found My Way Upstairs And Had A Smoke,


Somebody Spoke And I Went Into A Dream





I Read The News Today Oh Boy


Four Thousand Holes In Blackburn, Lancashire


And Though The Holes Were Rather Small


They Had To Count Them All


Now They Know How Many Holes It Takes To Fill The Albert Hall.


I'd Love To Turn You On.
