You Play Glockenspiel, I'll Play Drums Songtext / Lyric

There's a boy with a brace across his teeth

White socks, tattooed underneath

Bus tickets chitched up in his palm

Stood there he's spinning a yarn

There's a girl with a plastic pair of shoes

Two eyes permanently bruised

Can't find the time to be alarmed

Just stood spinning a yarn

Just take your time

It'll work out fine

It'll do no harm

To spin your yarn

You do English

I'll do sums

You break fingers

I'll break thumbs

You play Dads

And I'll play Mums

You play Glockenspiel

And I'll play drums

My name is Derek from then den

I deal in shillings and in pence

I'll get you amy deal you like

Ten sweets for a mountain bike you like

My name is Mandy from the yard

I deal in crazy tarot cards

I'll tell you what the future brings

One cat and a dog that sings

You do English

I'll do sums

You break fingers

I'll break thumbs

You play Dads

And I'll play Mums

You play Glockenspiel

And I'll play drums

Just take your time

It'll work out fine

It'll do no harm

To spin your yarn

You do English

I'll do sums

You break fingers

I'll break thumbs

You play Dads

And I'll play Mums

You play Glockenspiel

And I'll play drums
