Gilbert O’Sullivan - As a Rule lyrics

Now I'm not, I repeat not anyway a prude
But the sight of two
People cavorting on stage
Doing what can only be termed a natural act
Is unless you wear a raincoat
Only good for a laugh

As a rule, I never smoke while on duty
It just isn't on do I make myself clear
Though at times if there
Nobody's looking I will i mean
Life's too short and if I didn't smoke I bet
What with the luck that I have
I'd probably die of warty and
That would be that who would have thought it
Was humanly possible
To mate an elephant with a kangaroo
Well as my dear old mother
Once said in a rage
"Next thing you know they'll have
Pigs an the stage"

Whoever said blue skies were better than red
Must have been talking from out of his hat
I mean whose ever heard of
A blue sky at night
Don't like waiting or suffocating
In over crowded tubes
But I like good wine with my dinner don't you
Yes we do
