Quiet - Ian Dury, The Blockheads

Excuse me, excuse me

Get right out of the way

Quiet!

(plop-plops)

I’m sorry, beg pardon

The fault’s entirely yours

Quiet!

(big jobs)

Your Highness, your Worship

You silly pompous ass

Quiet!

(ar-arse)

Quiet!

You’re making such a racket

Quiet!

Why must you be so loud?

Quiet!

It’s costing me a packet

Quiet!

Persistent louts and clowns

Hello there

How are you?

Pee off!

Quiet!

(three drips)

Look, honest

Really

Lies

Quiet!

(prune juice)

How lovely!

How charming!

Horrible

Quiet!

(wee-wees)

Quiet!

Or else there will be measures

Quiet!

Stop this unholy row

Quiet!

Shut up, you little treasures

Quiet!

When you’ve been told, and how

Alright little chap

Get back on mummy’s lap

There may well be chastisements if you do not shut your trap

Just sit quite still

Fold arms face front

Quiet!

You’re making such a din din

Quiet!

Why don’t you please keep quiet?

Quiet!

No one else is listening

Quiet!

Utterly sick and tired

Quiet!

Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh
