lyrics

I'm being held against my will, I didn't ask to be here.
I'm being forced to write this song and you've no choice but to hear -
Me singing badly and lamenting oh so sadly,
Till you get the memo, that I'm in peril,
And they will not release me till you -
Meet their demands, or somehow foil their plans...

They want ice-cream in wafer cones,
They want laptops, new mobile phones,
They want an elephant in a tuxedo and a monkey singing no-one knows.
They want satellite and Sky TV,
Reasonable pricing in HMV,
Curiously Cinnamon back to Cinnamon Grahams,
And you better not fail to meet their demands...

They're getting angry at me, and finding it rather hard to see,
It's hard to write under pressure, don't want to be here forever till I -
Die, I will not lie,my time here's been entertaining for a while,
but now I'm tired, my creative flow has expired.
Please meet their demands, or somehow foil their plans...

"We want a monkey singing no one knows"
"We want ice-cream in wafer cones"

They want to be noticed, they want to be loved.
Someone to tuck them in at night, someone to give them a hug.
Just give the poor thugs what they want, it's really not that much.
Then I'll be free and you will see I'm worth an awful lot...

"We want an elephant in a tuxedo"
"We want satellite and Sky TV"
