[The Style Council - The Stand Up Comic's Instructions lyrics]
Now listen:
Get 'em laughing - keep 'em there
You hold your own and they'll hold theirs
Hold their glasses - can't hold their beer
Tell 'em the one about the friggin' queer
Do the one that always works
'Bout the lazy blacks that don't like work
And once you got 'em, keep 'em there
Raise their spirit's! Raise their cheer!
I don't know what you want from me
But, I know I'll never be
The kind of person who gives away just laughs
Do that one that never fails
'Bout the gang of white thugs
And the Asian male
And once you got 'em, they'll be with you!
See this lot's loyal, through and through
Tell Irish jokes and you can't miss
Do the building site one and
How they're all thick
Keep 'em laughing - you'll have it made
We're a friendly lot and you'll be well paid
I don't know what you want from me
But, I know I'll never be
But keep 'em laughing don't let it stop
Or the truth might catch up
And spoil the plot
Get 'em laughing - keep 'em there
You hold your own and they'll hold theirs
Hold their glasses - can't hold their beer
Tell 'em the one about the friggin' queer
Do the one that always works
'Bout the lazy blacks that don't like work
And once you got 'em, keep 'em there
Raise their spirit's! Raise their cheer!
I don't know what you want from me
But, I know I'll never be
The kind of person who gives away just laughs
Do that one that never fails
'Bout the gang of white thugs
And the Asian male
And once you got 'em, they'll be with you!
See this lot's loyal, through and through
Tell Irish jokes and you can't miss
Do the building site one and
How they're all thick
Keep 'em laughing - you'll have it made
We're a friendly lot and you'll be well paid
I don't know what you want from me
But, I know I'll never be
But keep 'em laughing don't let it stop
Or the truth might catch up
And spoil the plot
