Not Now John lyrics

Fuck all that we've got to get on with these

Got to compete with the wily Japanese

There's too many home fires burning

And not enough trees

So fuck all that

We've got to get on with these

Can't stop

Lose job

Mind gone

Silicon

What bomb?

Get away

Pay day

Make hay

Break down

Need fix

Big six

Clickity click

Hold on

Oh no

Bingo!

Make em laugh

Make em cry

Make em dance in the aisles

Make em pay

Make em stay

Make em feel OK

Not now John

We've got to get on with the film show

Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow

Who cares what it's all about

As long as the kids go

Not now John

Got to get on with the show

Hang on John

We've got to get on with this

I don't know what it is

But it fits on here like this...

Come at the end of the shift

We'll go and get pissed

But not now John

I've got to get on with this

Hold on John

I think there's something good on

I used to read books but ...

It could be the news

Or some other amusement

Or it could be reusable shows

Fuck all that we've got to get on with these

Got to compete with the wily Japanese

No need to worry about the Vietnamese

Got to bring the Russian bear to his knees

Well, maybe not the Russian bear

Maybe the swedes

We showed Argentina

Now let's go and show these

Make us feel tough

And won't Maggie be pleased

nah nah nah nah nah nah!

S'cusi dove il bar

Se para collo pou eine toe bar

S'il vous plaît où est le bar

Oi' where's the fucking bar john!?

(Oh, now you're talking!)

Oh! Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the day

Go, Maggie!
