It's a god-awful

small affair

to the girl with

the mousy hair

But her mummy

is yelling no

and her daddy

has told her to go

But her friend

is nowhere to be seen

now she walks through

her sunken dream

To the seat with

the clearest view

and she's hooked

to the silver screen

But the film

is a saddening bore

for she's lived it

ten times or more

She could spit

in the eyes of fools

as they ask her

to focus on

Sailors fighting

in the dance hall

Oh man, look at

those cavemen go

it's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

beating up the wrong guy

Oh man, wonder if

he'll ever know

he's in the best selling show

is there life on Mars...

It's on amerika's

tortured brow

that Mickey Mouse

has grown up a cow

Now the workers

have struck for fame

'cause Lennon's

on sale again

See the mice

in their million hordes

from Ibiza to

the Norfolk Broads

Rule Britannia

is out of bounds

to my mother

my dog, and clowns

But the film

is a saddening bore

'cause I wrote it

ten times or more

it's about to be writ again

as I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting

in the dance hall

Oh man, look at

those cavemen go

it's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

beating up the wrong guy

Oh man, wonder if

he'll ever know

he's in the best selling show

is there life on Mars...
