 in full :
We  are the 8 0 1
We  are the central shaft  - And we are
here  to let you take  advantage
Of  our lack of craft
Certain  streets have certain  corners
Sooner  or later, we'll  turn yours
We  are the 8 0 1
We  are the central shaft  - And thus through-
 -out  two years we've crossed  the ocean
in  our little craft  (Row! Row! Row!)
Now  we're on the telephone
Making  final arrangements  (Ding! Ding!)
We  are the 8 0 1
We  are the central shaft
Looking  for a certain ratio
Someone  must have left it underneath  the carpet
Looking  up and down the radio
Oh-oh,  nothing there this  time
Looking  for a certain ratio
Someone  said they saw it parking  in a car-lot
Looking  up and down the radio
Oh-oh,  nothing there this  time
Going  back down to the radio
Oh,  oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - here  we go!

We  are the table, the captain's table
Let's  get it understood, let's get it understood
We  are the losers, we are the bruisers
Let's  get it understood, let's get it understood
We  are the diners, the final diners
Let's  get it understood, let's get it understood
Most  of us tinkers, some of us tailors,
And  we've got candlesticks, and lots of cocktail sticks
We  saw the lovers, the modern lovers
And  they looked very good, they looked as if they could
We  are the neighbours, the nosy neighbours
We  think just like we would, we think just like we should.
