[Verse 1]
Oh, Mr Robinson and his quango
Dirty dealer, expensive car
Runs the buses and the Evening Star
He got a hairpiece, oh, he got herpes
His private life is very discreet
A nicer man, no, you're never gonna meet

[Chorus]
Yeah, he's the self-professed saviour of the dim right wing
He got respiratory problems and a Mason's ring

[Verse 2]
Oh, Mr Robinson and his quango
Drinks with generals and county wives
The family business is doing alright
They're doing tangos down in the quangos
Makes them tick, oh, he makes them tock
And if you don't fit, he put you in the dock

[Chorus]
Just sits in his leather chair and twiddles his thumb
Gets his secretary in and pinches her bum

[Verse 3]
He ran into the toilets in the town hall
He got his biro out and he wrote on the wall
"I'm wearing black French knickers under my suit
I've got stockings and suspenders on, I'm feeling rather loose"

[Bridge]
Ooh, I'm the naughty boy
Ooh, I'm the naughty, naughty boy
Said who?

[Chorus]
He's the self-professed saviour of the dim right wing
He got respiratory problems and a Mason's ring

[Outro]
Ooh, I'm the naughty boy (naughty boy)
Ooh, I'm the naughty boy (naughty boy)
Ooh, I'm the naughty boy (naughty boy)
Ooh, I'm the naughty boy (naughty boy)
Ooh, I'm the naughty boy (naughty boy)
Ooh, I'm the naughty boy (naughty boy)
Ooh, I'm the naughty boy (naughty boy)
Ooh, I'm the naughty, naughty boy (naughty boy)

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
