Bust my back on the Levy broke my strings on the BBC 
Found my chops on Eel Pie Island paid my dues at the Marquee 
Slagged off by the N.M.E. lost my stash and my virginity 
In this Cockamamie Business 

Got my face on Ed Sullivan broke my heart on the Soul Train 
Introduced to Bad Company lost cells down at Brain Drain 
And before I could mend lost the missus, missed the girlfriend 
In this Cockamamie Business 

Now we like to air condition though the air has no ozone ring 
Still they're chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger King 
Eating cows with such persistence doesn't offer much resistance 
To this Cockamamie Business 

There are too many things stressing out the nervous system 
Girls you used to know fellas that may have kissed'em 
Some got rabies some got fleas some got incurable diseases 
From this Cockamamie Business 

Everybody's after as many points as they can get 
As long as it's not them that has to pay 
No one really minds the Debt 
5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors 
With their Cockamamie Business 

Well you do what you can can't do much more than that 
(No you can't do what he just said) 
Some days you're pretty sharp on other days you feel half dead 
(While you make your daily bread) 
Didn't want to be a star wanted just to play guitar
