Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
[Verse 2]
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
[Verse 3]
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
One, two, three
[Verse 4]
Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly, Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley, add nanny goats
[Verse 5]
Eighteen-wheeler Scammells, Dominica Camels
All other mammals, plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willie
Being rather silly and porridge oats
[Verse 6]
A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it, yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on forty, no electric shocks
[Verse 7]
The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret, anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain't spotty
Sitting on the potty, curing smallpox
[Verse 8]
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
[Verse 9]
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful
One, two, three
[Verse 10]
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
Health service glasses, gigolos and brasses
Round or skinny bottoms
Take your mum to Paris, lighting up a chalice
Wee Willie Harris
[Verse 11]
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico
Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorcycle
Slap and tickle
[Verse 12]
Woody Allen, Dali, Dmitri and Pascale
Balla, balla, balla, and Volare
Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
[Verse 13]
Saying okey-dokey, sing-a-long a Smokie
Coming out of chokie
John Coltrane's soprano, Adie Celentano
Beuno Colino (One, two, three)
[Verse 14]
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
[Verse 15]
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful
One, two, three
[Verse 16]
Yes, yes, dear, dear
Perhaps next year
Or maybe even never
In which case
[Verse 17]
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Woody Allen, Dali, Dmitri and Pascale)
(Balla, balla, balla, and Volare)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy)
(Being in my nuddy)
[Verse 18]
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Saying okey-dokey, sing-a-long a Smokie)
(Coming out of chokie)
Reasons to be Cheerful
(John Coltrane's soprano, Adie Celentano)
(Beuno Colino) One, two, three
[Verse 19]
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
[Verse 20]
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3
(Why don't you get back into bed)
Reasons to be Cheerful
One, two, three
