Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
It's such a sad thing
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
It's such a sad thing
[Verse 5]
And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life and I think about death
And neither one particularly appeals to me
[Verse 6]
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
