Don't Quote Me on That

It's all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Did you hear the one, yeah-yeah

The one they wrote in the papers just the other day?

Well, well would you believe it?

Well, what I said, they took it all the wrong way

Now, you've gotta be careful about what you say

'Cause they've got a bad habit

Were you reading in between the lines?

Or is that what I said? Now, I just can't remember

They seem to have a very good memory, though

But as far as I'm concerned, as-as far as I'm concerned

You don't have to be black, white, chinese or anything really

Just enjoy, shut up, listen and dance

It's all eggs bacon beans and a fried slice

(Don't quote me on that) Don't quote me on that

(Don't quote me on that) Please, don't quote me

(Don't quote me on that)

Hey-hey, you know something, I said I liked that guy

But that's not what I read in the paper

I don't have anything against them

It's just eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

(Don't quote me on that) Don't quote me on that

(Don't quote me on that) Please, don't quote me

(Don't quote me on that)

You know, now we get worried about what we say

You know, it shouldn't be that way

You know, I don't care who comes

'Cause as far as I'm concerned

It's eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Don't quote me on that

Don't quote me on that

Please, don't quote me

Mama, mama, you know I'm still friends with Mickey

They say that I shouldn't like him anymore because I'm all white

Well, he's alright by me

Don't quote me on that

Please, don't quote me

(Don't quote me on that)

(Don't quote me on that)

Now, what I do is I bring all my old friends along to see the show

And if you have the wrong ideas, well

It's all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

(Don't quote me on that)

(Don't quote me on that) Please, don't quote me

(Don't quote me on that) I never said that

(Don't quote me on that) That's not what I meant

(Don't quote me on that) Well, I suppose you could take it that way

(Don't quote me on that) But that's not what I meant to say

(Don't quote me on that) Won't you give me another chance?

(Don't quote me on that) Please, please

Don't quote me on that

(Don't quote me on that)

(Don't quote me on that)

I'd like to say, "Thank you" To Pete, Peter Tosh

And all the other people who come and they

Believe in us for the fun and the music

'Cause all I've got to say to you press, now is

"It's all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice"

Eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Go to Maggie's caff

132 Liverpool road

Just down the road, just round the corner

Only there's not much corner

It's just chairs and tables and they've

Even got a space invaders machine

A cup of tea, that's fine for me

'Cause it's all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Are you sure you turned that tape recorder off?

Are you sure?

Are you sure?
