Lyrics
Cacka Boom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you're cold, well here's a plan
Pull the plug out of your fan
If you're hot, now here's a scheme
Park your botty in the stream
If you're tired, check this plot
Seek a source that hits the spot
If you're snooty, here's a ploy
Stroll along the hoi polloi
(Cacka Boom)
You'll not have owt to show for it
If you don't go for it (Cacka Boom)
You'll have to come to terms with it,
Get on the firm with it (Cacka Boom)
If you don't get to grips with it,
You've had your chips with it (Cacka Boom)
You'll only come to rue it if you don't do it
If you're lost, well try this notion
Find yourself a magic potion (Cacka Boom)
If you're angry, check this wheeze
Count to ten and then say "cheese" (Cacka Boom)
If you're uptight here's the answer
Learn to be a belly dancer (Cacka Boom)
If you're cornered, suss a wangle
Try it from a different angle
(Cacka Boom)
Now you can put a name to it
You must lay claim to it (Cacka Boom)
You'll have time to regret it
If you don't go and get it (Cacka Boom)
You won't have much to talk about
If you don't go on walkabout (Cacka Boom)
Don't think you won't mind it
If you don't try and find it
No one said you must be good as gold
It's what you haven't done
That matters when you're old
No one said these things are pre-ordained
Nothing ventured...
If you're guilty, cop a stroke
You only did it for a joke
If you're dozy, here's a tactic
Tell 'em all they're too didactic
If you're fed up, here's a wrinkle
Let your pianoforte tinkle
If you're wobbling here's a trick
Happy go toilet, click, click, click
Now you can put a name to it
You must lay claim to it (Cacka Boom)
You'll have time to regret it
If you don't go and get it (Cacka Boom)
You won't have much to talk about
If you don't go on walkabout (Cacka Boom)
Don't think you won't mind it
If you don't try and find it (Cacka Boom)
