I`ve Come For My Award Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 This is the awards for industry and free enterprise

 So let me sit you down and tell you how i won first prize

 I took on your free enterprise and your pretty little shops

 Walked in with empty bags and walked out with the lot

 

 So i've come for my award, i've come for my award

 I thought i'd come in person that's the least i can afford

 Let hands be shook

 Champagne poured

 Sentence ignored

 Yes. i've come for my award

 

 This is the awards for industry and free enterprise

 Anyone want a gold watch in a ladies' size?

 There's a few more round the back

 I stole them from your shop

 We've got no more in silver, that's all that you'd got

 

 So i've come for my award, i've come for my award

 I thought i'd come in person that's the least i can afford

 Let hands be shook

 Champagne poured

 Sentence ignored

 Yes. i've come for my award

 

 I chatted with your guards and winked at roving eye

 A thousand hidden cameras were searching cross the sky

 But they didn't see me pinch them from underneath their eyes

 

 So i've come for my award, i've come for my award

 I thought i'd come in person that's the least i can afford

 Let hands be shook

 Champagne poured

 Sentence ignored

 Yes. i've come for my award

 Jesus was my greatest accomplice

 Jesus was my greatest accomplice

 Jesus was my greatest accomplice

 Yes, i've come for my award

 

 Hairdryer, overcoat, telly, dot-to-dot

 Video, compact disc, there's nothing we forgot

 Whilst i was busy smiling my father got the lot

 I've come for my award
