[Intro]
"Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!"
"Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!"
[Verse 1]
Pity him, the former
Enfant terrible
His career in aspic
Bent on pleasure
Gamely attempting
The tricky transition
From ageing outrage
To national treasure
[Chorus]
"Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!
A drum to bang and I'll thump on it!
Criticism and I'll dump on it!
If you don't like it you'll be lumpin' it!"
[Verse 2]
He won't rest while there are
Cameras around
He'll start a quarrel
For the moral high-ground
It's not enough to win a brace of top awards
He won't be happy till he's in the House of Lords
[Chorus]
"Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!
A drum to bang and I'll thump on it!
Criticism and I'll dump on it!
If you don't like it you'll be lumpin' it!"
[Bridge]
At self-promotion he's a master
Although the midweek's a disaster
They used to fix things so much easier
Bring it on
The good old days were fun and sleazier
[Verse 1 Reprise]
Pity him, the former
Enfant terrible
His career in aspic
Bent on pleasure
Gamely attempting
The tricky transition
From ageing outrage
To national treasure
[Chorus]
"Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!
A drum to bang and I'll thump on it!
Criticism and I'll dump on it!
If you don't like it you'll be lumpin' it!"
[Outro]
Bring it on
"Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!"
"Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!"
[Verse 1]
Pity him, the former
Enfant terrible
His career in aspic
Bent on pleasure
Gamely attempting
The tricky transition
From ageing outrage
To national treasure
[Chorus]
"Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!
A drum to bang and I'll thump on it!
Criticism and I'll dump on it!
If you don't like it you'll be lumpin' it!"
