Excuse Me John

You could have been a docker

You had it all

Feather cut and muscles

I hear you're a banker these days

Well we took New York

And wrapped it up in a silver shawl

Yeah yeah yeah

You were always kicking in the exit door

While I was saving pennies

For the bus back home

Coming down in the afternoon

Excuse me John

What are you on

Can you spare a bit for me

To carry on

Through today, 'til tonight

'Cos tomorrow's out of sight

Out of reach

Out of it, again

You carried off a billboard

Twenty foot by ten

And put it in your bedroom

Now you can't get in

So please wash your hands

As you leave this century

Excuse me John

What are you on

Can you spare a bit for me

To carry on

Through today, 'til tonight

'Cos tomorrow's out of sight

Out of reach

Out of it, again

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

You know you want it

You know you need it

You know I need it too

Excuse me John

What are you on

Can you spare a bit for me

To carry on

Through today, 'til tonight

'Cos tomorrow's out of sight

Out of reach

Out of it, again
