Photographs of fancy tricks
to get your kicks at sixty-six.
He thinks of all the lips he licks
and all the girls that he's gonna fix.
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle,
But there's no place here for the miniskirt waddle.
Capital punishment, she's last year's model.
They call her Natasha, but she looks like Elsie.
I don't want to go to Chelsea.
Oh no, it does not move me,
Even though I've seen the movie,
I don't want to check your pulse.
I don't want nobody else.
I don't want to go to Chelsea.
Everybody's got new orders. Be a nice girl and kiss the warders.
Now the teacher is away, all the kids begin to play.
Men come screaming, dressed in white coats,
Shake you very gently by the throat.
One's named Gus, one's named Alfie.
I don't want to go to Chelsea.
Oh, no, it does not move me,
Even though I've seen the movie.
I don't want to check your pulse.
I don't want nobody else.
I don't want to go to Chelsea.
(repeat 1st verse & chorus)
