The Kinks - Ducks on the Wall lyrics
[The Kinks - Ducks on the Wall lyrics]
Norman's office got on my nerves to day
What do you mean? You are Norman!
(Shouts) I am a star!
You're not a star Norman you're just a plain
Ordinary little bloke and even if you
Walked down the street in a silver suit
People still wouldn't recognise
You you're dull
Ordinary and uninteresting! You're a drag!
I hate this house and I hate you
But more than anything else
I hate those ducks!
Don't you touch those ducks Norman! They were
A present from my mother look, Norman
I've had enough of you and
Your ridiculous fantasies first of all
You wanted to be a painter, then you wanted
To be an astronaut
Then a footballer and now you're
Playing at being a rock singer if you touch
Those ducks I'm leaving!
My lady's got the most deplorable taste
But her biggest mistake
Is hanging over the fireplace
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall
Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall
My lady's got a sort of strange fascination
An obsessive fixation for cheap decorations
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall
Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall
Wo-wo-wo I love her so but if
She don't move the ducks
I think my mind is gonna go
Ducks ducks ducks on the wall
Ducks ducks, hanging on the wall
I leave the office and I want to relax
Don't want to stare at a wall
And look at a duck that can't quack
I love you baby but I can't fall
For those ducks on the wall
I start to snuggle up and
Squeeze her so tight
Then out of the corner of my eye
I see those ducks in flight
I love you baby but I can't ball
When I see those ducks on the wall
Wo-wo-wo I can sit through your gossip
And your soap opera shows
But those ducks have got to go
I love you baby but I can't ball
When I see those ducks on the wall
And when I went to a cocktail party
With the bores next door
What was the first thing that I saw?
Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall
Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall
My baby's got the most deplorable taste
But her biggest mistake
Is hanging over the fireplace
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall
Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall
I'll sit and look at all
The soap operas with her
I'll play all the panel games and
Watch all the quiz shows
But those ducks they've got to go
Those ducks are getting up my nose
If those ducks can fly, well so can I
And if those ducks have got to stay
Then I'm going to fly away
I love you baby but I can't ball
When I see those ducks on the wall
Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall
Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall
Oh those ducks on the wall
Are beginning to move they're talking to me
I've got to get out
I've got to get away from those ducks
What do you mean? You are Norman!
(Shouts) I am a star!
You're not a star Norman you're just a plain
Ordinary little bloke and even if you
Walked down the street in a silver suit
People still wouldn't recognise
You you're dull
Ordinary and uninteresting! You're a drag!
I hate this house and I hate you
But more than anything else
I hate those ducks!
Don't you touch those ducks Norman! They were
A present from my mother look, Norman
I've had enough of you and

You wanted to be a painter, then you wanted
To be an astronaut

Playing at being a rock singer if you touch
Those ducks I'm leaving!
My lady's got the most deplorable taste

Is hanging over the fireplace
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall
Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall
My lady's got a sort of strange fascination
An obsessive fixation for cheap decorations
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall
Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall

Ducks ducks, hanging on the wall
