Gilbert O`sullivan The Golden Rule Lyrics

The Golden Rule Lyrics

I wouldn't be glad wouldn't be sad

 I wouldn't be good if I knew what I could

 And I hate to go

 But I must you know

 Duty calls

 Niagara Falls

 See it go down

 As it falls on the ground

 And gets up again

 At the count of ten

 I would like everyone here to repeat after me

 Something of which I know nothing about

 Namely that which I will tell you

 (That which I will tell you)

 I'm going to school breaking a rule

 I'm going around in a pityful frown

 'Coz I didn't pass (came)

 Bottom of the class (Oh! what a shame)

 Teacher was mad

 So was me dad

 Took off his belt

 And without any help

 Really hit me hard

 Where I'd stuck a card

 Thick I may be but a fool I am certainly not

 Always remember the golden rule

 When in no doubt get a car out

 And while you're there how about...

 Fetching me one of those pneumatic drills

 Boy! I really love the sound that they make

 So good for the pains and aches of life in general

 Don't be such a miser

 At the most a fiver's all you pay

 Many's the time

 I have wondered about what it is

 I want you all to repeat after me

 Something I know you know I know

 (Something I know you know I know)

 I wouldn't behold wouldn't be cold

 I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my

 Dear old mum and dad

 And the fun they had

 Early one night

 Dad put out the light

 Got hold of me mum

 Said he wanted a son

 And as you can see

 The result was me

 Somebody told me once money does not grow on trees

 Well if that's true then how do you explain

 Apples oranges and lemons

 Not forgetting melons
