Lyrics
0:08You're having tea with Graham Greene
0:12In a colored costume of your choice
0:16And you'll be held in high esteem
0:20If you're seen in between
0:25Stiffly holding umbrellas
0:28Catching the fellows making the toast
0:32To the civil servant Carruthers
0:36Making the others worser than most
0:40You're making small talk now with the Queen
0:44And the elegant ladies in waiting
0:48You're very nervous they can all tell
0:52Pretty well they can tell
0:56So save yourselves for the hounds of hell
1:00They can have you all to themselves
1:04Since the fashion now is to give away
1:08All the things you love so well
1:12Welcome back to Chipping and Sodbury
1:16You can have another chance
1:21It must all seem like second nature
1:25Chopping down the people where they stand
1:41According to the latest score
1:44Mr Enoch Powell is a falling star
1:48So in future please bear in mind
1:52Don't see clear don't see far
1:56When the average social director
2:00Mistook a passenger for the conductor
2:04So shocking see the old Church of E
2:08Looking down on you and me
2:12Welcome back to Chipping and Sodbury
2:17You can have another chance
2:21It must all seem like second nature
2:25Chopping down the people where they stand
2:37Ah ah ah
You're having tea with Graham Greene In a colored costume of your choice And you'll be held in high esteem If you're seen in between Stiffly holding umbrellas Catching the fellows making the toast To the civil servant Carruthers Making the others worser than most You're making small talk now with the Queen And the elegant ladies in waiting You're very nervous they can all tell Pretty well they can tell So save yourselves for the hounds of hell They can have you all to themselves Since the fashion now is to give away All the things you love so well Welcome back to Chipping and Sodbury You can have another chance It must all seem like second nature Chopping down the people where they stand According to the latest score Mr Enoch Powell is a falling star So in future please bear in mind Don't see clear don't see far When the average social director Mistook a passenger for the conductor So shocking see the old Church of E Looking down on you and me Welcome back to Chipping and Sodbury You can have another chance It must all seem like second nature Chopping down the people where they stand Ah ah ah
