I want to tell you,
I might as well do
About a girl I met back in May
Her name is Rita
And you should see her
When she goes
Ooh wakka doo wakka day

She's got a brother
like any other
Who got his nose caught
Inside a gate
And when they freed him
It so relieved him
He just went
Ooh wakka doo wakka day

You wouldn't think to look at me
That I was strong but underneath
It all I really am
And just prove it why only the other
Day I picked a needle up with one hand

Now up in Bradford
A chap named Radford
While taking part in a local play
Was intercepted and then suspected
of going Ooh wakka doo wakka day

ay ay ay
Who's that lady I saw you with? 
It was not your wife
It looked to me suspiciously like
Some I'd had never seen before 
In my life
Do, do, do 

It's not surprising when
You come to think of it
Just what it is that makes 
people swear
You only have to sing the wrong bleepin' thing
And there'll be bleeping every bleeping where. 

Now if you love me
You're not above me
And if you don't well
What can I say
Except will see then
You come to tea then
you can go
Ooh wakka doo wakka day
