I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means, of slender means
I am a man of means (of slender means)
Each household appliance
each household appliance
Is like a new science in my town
is like a new science in my town
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
And if the day came when I felt a
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
natural emotion
And when a train goes by, it's such a sad sound
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump
No, no, no, no, no
in the ocean
It's such a sad thing
and when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound


I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
Every sensible child will know what this means
every sensible child will know what this means
The poor and the needy
the poor and the needy
Are selfish and greedy on her terms
are selfish and greedy on her terms
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
and if the day came when I felt a
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean

And when a train goes by, it's such a sad sound
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump
No, no, no, no, no

It's such a sad thing
and when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound


And when I'm lying in my bed
And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life and I think about death
I think about life
And neither one particularly appeals to me
and I think about death
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
and neither one particularly appeals to me
and if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
In the middle of the street and die
in the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die, oh-oh
I'd lie down and die

Lyrics

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means (of slender means)
each household appliance
is like a new science in my town
And if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump
in the ocean
and when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
every sensible child will know what this means
the poor and the needy
are selfish and greedy on her terms
and if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump
in the ocean
and when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound

And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life
and I think about death
and neither one particularly appeals to me
and if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
in the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die
