Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sweetness

Sweetness, I was only joking when I said

I'd like to smash every tooth in your head

Oh-oh, sweetness

Sweetness, I was only joking when I said

By rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed

[Bridge]

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt

Now I know how Joan of Arc felt

As the flames rose to her Roman nose

And her Walkman started to melt

[Chorus]

Bigmouth, la-da-da, da-da

Bigmouth, la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the Human race

Oh, oh, oh-ho-ho

Bigmouth, la-da-da, da-da

Bigmouth, la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the Human race

[Bridge]

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt

Now I know how Joan of Arc felt

As the flames rose to her Roman nose

And her hearing aid started to melt

[Chorus]

Bigmouth, la-da-da, da-da

Bigmouth, la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the Human race

Oh, oh, oh, oh-ho-ho

Bigmouth, ho-ho-ho, ha-ha

Bigmouth, la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the Human race

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, oh-ho-ho

Bigmouth, ho-ho-ho, ha-ha

Bigmouth, la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the Human race

Oh, oh, oh, la-da-da

Bigmouth, la-da-da, da-da

Bigmouth, la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the Human race
