THE SONG:


INTRO:
(Rhythm A x 2)
(Rhythm B x 2)

VERSE 1:
(Rhythm C x2)
Can't give it up, can't stop speaking my mind.
Got to say what I'm thinking all the time.
There's etiquette about what I should say, true.
But what the fuck I always do.

CHORUS 1:
(Rhythm A x 2)
Blah, blah, rhubarb, is all I hear of what you say.
Yak, yakking along, going strong in your own kind of way.
Skip, yipee I yay.
(Rhythm B x 2)

VERSE 1:
(Rhythm C x 2)
Speech on the telly spoiling christmas day.
Party broadcast saying the same thing in a different way.
Silence in the courtroom, silence in the street.
The biggest fool of them all, is now about to speak.

CHORUS 2:
(Rhythm A x 2)
Blah, blah, rhubarb, is all I hear of what you say.
Yak, yakking along, going strong in your own kind of way.
Skip, yipee I yay.
(Rhythm D x 1)
Yipee I yay, yipee I yay, I can hear what it says.
Yipee I yay, yipee I yay, yipee I yay, and it all sounds the same.

SOLO

CHORUS 3:
(Rhythm A x 2)
Oh yeah alright, oh yeah I'm sure it'll be O.K.
Just tagging along, not to strong in our own kind of way.
Skip yipee I yay.
(Rhythm E x 1)
Yipee I yay, yipee I yay, I can hear what it says.
Yipee I yay, yipee I yay, yipee I yay, and it all sounds the same.
Yipee I yay, yipee I yay, I can hear what it says.
Yipee I yay, yipee I yay, yipee I yay, and it all sounds the same.

OUTRO:
(Rhythm F x 1)
