No No Nettie

Well the queen went spinning in the whirly bird
The king said wait a minute this is absurd
Jumpin' Jehosephat, she's better than me
I gotta get movin' or I ain't gonna be
King of the kingdom, king of the road
Well, I gotta look smart on the Internettie show

No, no, Nettie, we got to confess
You can't go flying in a see through dress
You've gotta be special if you want the press
Desperate measures make a dreadful mess
But don't get angry, don't get pissed
We'll find a way to get you in the Harpers list
Oooh no, no, Nettie, don't you fret
The boys are gonna save you from the Bristol Rep
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can't do that

Well touring's boring, gimme a break
I got to ease the pressure now, for heaven's sake
I can't stop shouting, yeah I'm fit to explode
You can't be a saint when you're on the road
Hire 'em, fire 'em, let them go
Staff are ten a penny on the Internettie show

Ooh no, no, Nettie, you can't do that
You can't wear stockings to the Laundromat
All that 'citement makes the whites turn grey
Oh Lord above, get on your knees and pray
Don't be hasty, walk that line
The cavalry are coming in the nick of time
No, no, Nettie, take your time
The boys are gonna save you from the chorus line
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can't do that

We got rhythm in the kitchen, rhythm at the wheel
Fascinating passion with a delicate feel
Rhythm with the money, rhythm on the skins
Complicated rhythms when we're up for a spin
No rhythm with the women but she don't give a hoot
Hey! Terrorise the nanny in her hobnail boots

Well, no, no, Nettie, it's a dreadful shame
The music business is a silly game
Better run for cover when the sky turns black
Swingin' Dave is gonna swing his axe
This year, next year, the year after that
The story's getting better than in Spinal Tap
Woah, No, no, Nettie, toe that line
The Basher's gonna save you in the nick of time
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can't do that
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can't do that
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can't do that
Oooh oooh no, no, Nettie, you can't do that
