Lyrics

Have-a-go when the pubs all close
And have-a-go when they open

Then have-a-go by the traffic light
Cut up or shut up, you're all right
And as always I'm here right behind you
And as always there's time so have another go, oh

A small baby girl cradled in your arms
Your one big contribution we'll never know
We'll never know
We'll never know
We'll never know

Ahh, yeah
Ahh, yeah

Small girl runs crying through the park
So freely her daddy berates her
Right now, so for the rest of her life
She is convinced that her daddy hates her

Oh...
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Oh, oh, ha ha
Oh...
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Oh, oh, ha ha
Oh...
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Oh, oh, ha ha
Oh...
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Oh, oh, ha ha
Oh...
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Oh, oh, ha ha
Oh...
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Oh, oh, ha ha
