Dexys Midnight Runners

What s that? What s that on the start?
Let s get this straight from the start
Who s that? Who s that? What s his part?
Tell him come back tomorrow and start

(You keep saying) So, what did I say?
(You keep saying) Tell me, what did I say?
I said, Pardon me (Ooh)
Pardon me (Ooh)
Pardon me (Please)
Pardon me
I said, come round here singing, ooh
let s get this straight from the start

Telling me this is something I don t even understand
Oh, these people round here have their own way of thinking
Some of them get angry with the things I ve heard
Oh, watch what you re saying, that s not what I m thinking

(You keep saying) So, what did I say?
(You keep saying) Tell me, what did I say?
I said, Pardon me (Ooh)
Pardon me (Ooh)
Pardon me (Please)
Pardon me
Suggest you come round here singing, ooh
let s get this straight from the start

No joking me, you better look at what you think of
No joking me, you better look at what you think
I ll just live where I ll live, have ideas
and they re all so old

What s that, what s that repeating part?
Let s get this straight from the start
Who s that? Who s that? What s his part?
Tell him come back tomorrow and start

(You keep saying) So, what did I say?
(You keep saying) Go on, what did I say?
I said, I said, Pardon me (Ooh)
