Break a mirror, roll the dice
Run with scissors through a chip-pan firefight
Go into business with a grizzly bear
But just don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair
Find a well-known hard man and start a fight
Wear your shell suit on bonfire night
Filling a circular hole with a pen that's square
But just don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bite the lightning and tell me how it tastes
Kung fu fighting on your roller skates
Do the Macarena in the devil's lair
But just don't you sit down 'cause I've moved your chair, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh
Thank you very much for having us, Royal Albert Hall
If I can call you that
