[Verse 1]
Ding dong, ding dong
Hi! Hey! Sorry we're late
You're not, you're the first
Oh great!
Hey listen I'm sorry but we can't stay late
So we parked in the middle at the top by the gate
On the grass with the crass Volkswagen Estate
Whose is it? Mine!
You're kidding, it's great! (Jesus)
I just love the way he's used the car like an empty canvas
And let the rust eat itself into the overall design
With such devastating spontaneity
David you're ignoring me, come here
Who do you have to fuck to get a drink around here?
It's art David, neo-functional mannerism
Cerebral but oblique
It's one star four owner shagged out chic
One star four owner shagged out chic
One star four owner shagged out chic
One star four owner shagged out chic
One star four owner shagged out chic
One star four owner shagged out chic
One star four owner shagged out chic
One star four owner shagged out
You're a cocksucker Michael
You are what you eat David
[Verse 2]
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Hi darling, darling, darling, hi, hi, darling, darling
John! Ben! John! Sandy!
John! Somerset! John! Weekend!
John! Wendy! John! Kevin!
Got any?
No (Darling!) but I've got Champagne!
(Darling! Darling! Darling!)
Hi, hi, hi there
Damn it I know you're in a bit of a spot
And you're used to the Merc and the Moet and the yacht
And it must be a blow to the ego, what!
But forget about this video rot
And write yourselves a hit or three
Like "I'm Not in Paris" or "The Dean and Me"
I mean really I don't like your stuff very much
It's too avant-garde and aggressive and butch
I prefer a gentle and melodic touch
But the kids today have got their ears in a crutch
If it's not robots singing in Dutch
It's Adam and the Ants and Starsky and Hutch
By the way here's your present
Thanks very much
Now who's here?
[Bridge]
The Prews, the Magoos, the Targetts and the Benmen
Johnny Peruvian, Marathon Man
Blonde and dangerous cameraman
Hello
The Prews, the Magoos, the Targetts, and the Benmen
Brando, Banacek, Pusher, Taker
Student Prince and cocktail shaker
Hello
The Prews, the Magoos, the Targetts, and the Benmen
Tim Clinch Vicar's son, Prince Buster meets Tweedledum
Hello
The Prews, the Magoos, the Targetts, and the Benmen
[Verse 3]
Well Jesus Christ is that the time?
I could have sworn it was only twenty to nine
Hello Susan darling you look divine
Anyway we'd better get off before we get blocked in
So give our regards to the Paul and the Lynnes
And the swankies and the chatters and the Tequila twins
Sorry Attila's brides
Anyway must go, must fly, don't drink yourselves to death
But the baby is allergic to the babysitter's breath
And she'll have her boyfriend in a vice-like grip
On the backgammon table sucking guacamole dip
Through the holes in her stockings, isn't it shocking!
Champagne!
[Chorus]
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
[Verse 4]
Oh boy my skin feels about an inch thick
How about you Ben?
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
I'm fine, another line?
Why is everybody talking in speech balloons
And disappearing in Tequila fumes?
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Another line? (Mmm mmm) Fine
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
I love you Ben, let me count the ways
Whoops here comes the Spaghetti Bolognese
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
So I'm stuck in the toilet with Rick
And I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
I think I'm gonna be, it's gonna be, I'm gonna be
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Gonna be, gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
So long Rick
It's gonna be me and the bowl
Me and the bowl
Me and the never ending bowl
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Me and the bowl
Me and the bowl
Me and the never ending bowl
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Me and the bowl
Me and the bowl
Me and the never ending bowl
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Me and the bowl
Me and the bowl
Me and the never ending bowl
[Outro]
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
Hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
It's me and the bowl, me and the bowl
Me and the never ending bowl
I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
