LYRICS

Lyrics

Do middle-aged women wear cameo brooches?
Do young office leches drive clapped-out old Porsches?
Do sales girls at Tesco wear boots number seven?
Do you eat digestives at half past eleven?
Do you act your age or the size of your shoes?
Has a man got to do what a man's got to do?
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
Do Leyland car workers vacate in Majorca?
Do Daily Star crosswords while they're on the toilet?
Do you talk in riddles or verbal diarrhea?
Do you drink real ale, then drown in your beer?
Is this what we are, is there nothing inside?
If you swallow your food, would you swallow your pride?
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Do hip social workers wear militant badges
To show their beliefs on their corduroy jackets?
Do students drive Citroens on their three-year courses?
Do you spend your weekends flogging dead horses?
Do you act your age, or the size of your shoes?
Has a man got to do what a man's got to do?
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do
The things we do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
The things we do
