Tedious people, tiresome town under the gaze of the mayoral frown
Always calm with a gentle breeze - Tarkus in black vinyl please.
What would you do?
If the sexton's wife from the best kept village nearby came running
With bells round her neck and said
You'd better move away, tomorrow or today
'Cos when the owl starts laughing we will all fall down
There's an outbreak of Vitas Gerulaitis on the way.
Why it's Mr Kowalski - it was you all along
That ski lodge would have been mine if it wasn't for you meddling kids.
But what can you do?
When your mum's in Rampton bouncing off the walls
And singing 'Who's afraid of Virginia Wade?'
Why do that today when you can always put it off until tomorrow?
Was our motto, subsequently engraved on a plaque
As a reminder of the attack of Vitas Gerulaitis.
We all fall down, we all fall down,
We all fall down, we all fall down,
Who's afraid of Virginia Wade?
Who's afraid of Virginia Wade?
An outbreak of Vitas Gerulaitis in the town
In the town, in the town, in the town
We all fall down.
