When I'm Bad
Chumbawamba
Your duty isn't ‘to serve'. Your duty is, as Mae West would put it, to enjoy yourself.
They try in vain our minds to chain
I'm up in the stars
Looking down at the gutter
When I'm good
I'm very good
But when I'm bad
I'm better!
Oh barman
Fill this glass again
And keep on pouring
‘Til Death says ‘when'.
Oh barman
Fill it to the top
And we'll be drinking
‘Til the singing has to stop
They try in vain our minds to chain
ABCDEFG:
The only notes that matter
When I'm good
I'm very good
But when I'm bad
I'm better!
They try in vain our minds to chain
Me and all my friends
Are coming round to your house
And we're not going to go
Until we get thrown out
Oh barman
Fill this glass again
They try in vain our minds to chain
