A.W.O.L.

Kat was in the bedroom
Playing hide-hide-ho
Lou was in the kitchen
Kissing Michelangelo

Ray was in a coffin
Taking measurements with string
Jean was cleaning windows
Trying to teach the world to sing

The satellite was beaming in a cabaret show
Where Juliet was arguing with stupid Romeo
The dog was reading poetry by Poe and Valerie
And I was sat there thinking how happy we could be

Bye bye baby, baby bye bye
I feel so happy but I don't know why
We're off to see the wizard A.W.O.L
Bye bye baby, I wish you well

Now the sneaky fat magician
He stole my handkerchief
He blew his nose and gave himself
Twenty years of grief

And I was so dumbfounded
When he asked me for a loan
I told him to repeat it
To my tiny dictaphone

And all the lazy bastards
That ever walked the earth
Were trying to get hold of me
From Tokyo to Perth

But I was up the candy
Combing my goatee
You thought I was surrounded
But with one bound our hero was free

Bye bye baby, baby bye bye
I feel so happy but I don't know why
We're off to see the wizard A.W.O.L
Bye bye baby, I wish you well

Now all you gay lieutenants
Who follow the yellow brick
Be sure to take your happy pills
Before you get seasick

The journey is long-winded
With many twists and snakes
And I forgot to mention
There were never any breaks

Bye bye baby, baby bye bye
I feel so happy but I don't know why
We're off to see the wizard A.W.O.L
Bye bye baby, I wish you well
