 G                   D                  Em
Fuck all that we've got to get on with these
 G                      D        Em
Gotta compete with the wily Japanese
         G                   D
There's too many home fires burning
                Em
And not enough trees,
    G
So fuck all that
       D                  Em
We've got to get on with these

Em
Can’t stop, lose job
Mind gone, silicon
Tsar bomb, what bomb?
Get away, pay day
Make hay, break down
Need fix, big six
Click, click
Hold on, oh no
 G    D  Em
Bingo! (Bingo!)

 C               Em
Make 'em laugh. Make 'em cry.
 D                     Em
Make 'em dance in the aisles.
 C             Em              D          Em
Make 'em pay. Make 'em stay. Make'em feel ok.

Not nah John
We've got to get on with the film show
Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow
Who cares what it's about
As long as the kids go
Not now John
Got to get on with the show

Hang on John we've got to get on with this
I don't know what it is
But it fits on here like
Come at the end of the shift,
We'll go and get pissed
But now now John
I've got to get on with this

 C 
Hold on John
                 Em
I think there's something good on
   D                     Em
I used to read books but.
    C 
It could be the news,
        Em
Or some other abuse,
       D                 Em
Or it could be reusable shows

 G                   D                    Em
Fuck all that we've got to get on with these
 G                       D        Em
Got to compete with the wily Japanese
No need to worry about the Vietnamese
 G                        D            Em
Got to bring the Russian bear to his knees
 G                           D
Well, maybe not the Russian bear,
            Em
Maybe the Swedes
    G
We showed Argentina
     D                 Em
Now let's go and show these
Make us feel tough
And wouldn't Maggie be pleased?

S'cusi, dov'è il bar? (What?)
Se parakalo, pou einai to bar?
S’il vous plaît, où est le bar?
(Say it in English, fairy!)
Oi, where’s the fucking bar John?
(Oh, now you’re talking!)
(Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the day)
Down! Go, Maggie!
Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, now!
