  • Well, you know the kind of people
    That put creases in their old Levis? Sure
    The type that use expressions like tongue in cheek and send up?
    Indeed l do
    I don't like these kind of people No?
    May I state here and now,
    But I can't help thinking,
    All the time Im thinking of her
    What's she like? In time, in time
    Let me put it another way Please do.
    Welt, you know how the English upper classes are thick and
    Ignorant and not used to being with people?
    That's true
    You're familiar with the scum from Notting Hill and Moseley
    The C N D ? Sure
    They describe nice things as wonderful
    She never would say that,
    She's totally different in every way
    What's she like
    In time, in time
    Tell me, what's she like?
    Come again?
    Tell me, what's she like?
    In time in time
    Well, this is what she's like
    I would like to express myself at this point
    Go ahead

    Bill, you know the newly wealthy peasants
    With their home bars and hi fis?
    Eh, I'm not sure actually
    You know, the ones who parade all their possessions
    And put fabulous and super in each sentence
    Oh yeah, I know the ones
    Well I don't really like these scumbags
    May I be clear on this point. Sure
    She's not a bit like that
    No, nothing like that
    What's she like?
    In time, in time
    Tell me, what's she like?
    Bill, I'm trying to tell you
    Oh well I'll tell you what she's like
    Given half a chance
    I will make this clear
    Just what she's like

    I'll present a picture of what she's like
    You'll be in no doubt as to what she's like But listen close
    Listen close now here
    Come on, are you gonna' tell us what she's like or not
    Oh yeah, I have every intention.
    I'll tell you now, listen
    Go on,
    Go on,
    Do you get my drift?
    Oh yeah, I'm starting to get the picture
    Well listen, I can expand on this if you'd like
    Yeah, if you would
    Oh, I see, I see She must be something
    Yeah, she is.
    Well how did all this happen
    Just all at once really.
    The Italians have a word for it
    What word what is it?
    A thunderbolt or something
    What, you mean the Italian word for thunderbolt)
    Yeah, something like that
    I don't speak Italian myself you understand No
    But I knew a man who did
    Well, that's my story,
    The strongest thing I've ever seen Writer/s: BILLY ADAMS, HELEN BEVINGTON, HELEN O'HARA, KEVIN ROWLAND
