I'd like to drop my trousers to the world 
I am a man of means (of slender means) 
Each household appliance 
Is like a new science in my town 
And if the day came when I felt a 
Natural emotion 
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump 
In the ocean 
And when a train goes by 
It's such a sad sound 
No ... 
It's such a sad thing 

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen 
Every sensible child will know what this means 
The poor and the needy 
Are selfish and greedy on her terms 
And if the day came when I felt a 
Natural emotion 
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump 
In the ocean 
And when a train goes by 
It's such a sad sound 
No ... 
It's such a sad thing 


And when I'm lying in my bed 
I think about life 
And I think about death 
And neither one particularly appeals to me 
And if the day came when I felt a 
Natural emotion 
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie 
In the middle of the street and die 
I'd lie down and die ...
Oh, oh
