Bilingual
He licks the golden spoon
Reads the book of etiquette
He takes his nap at noon
Is woken by a string quartet
His floating Suite on the sea
Brings him back to liverpool
Four o'clock's time for tea
Society sticks to the rules
But when the day gets older and the night takes over
Especially on Fridays he tries to ignore
That the bass vibrates
And he'd wish to be
On a different floor
Trading manners for the madness
The Party's always down in 3rd class
Ditching quiet for the chaos
Escape the golden bars
Trading manners for the madness
The Party's always down in third class
It's the only time he'd wish
For the world to turn upside down
When the end of the shift for his footmen is at hand
He starts to feel their glee
In bows that barely stand
When shadows grow longer and the lamplight's stronger
Especially on Fridays they smile like fools
They slip their gloves and he aches to stop
Playing by the rules
Trading manners for the madness
The Party's always down in 3rd class
Ditching quiet for the chaos
Escape the golden bars
Trading manners for the madness
The Party's always down in third class
It's the only time he'd wish
For the world to turn upside down
Trading manners for the madness
The Party's always down in 3rd class
Ditching quiet for the chaos
Escape the golden bars
Trading manners for the madness
The Party's always down in third class
It's the only time he'd wish
For the world to turn upside down
