Strum
D-DU-UDU
Tedious  people, tiresome town under  the gaze of the mayoral  frown
Always  calm with a gentle breeze  - Tarkus  in black vinyl  please.
What  would you do?
 If the sexton's  wife from the best  kept village nearby came running
 With bells round  her neck  and said
 You'd better  move away, tomorrow  or today
 'Cos when the owl starts laughing  we will all fall down
 There's an outbreak  of Vitas Gerulaitis  on the way.
Why  it's Mr Kowalski  -  it was you all along
That  ski lodge would  have been mine  if it wasn't  for you meddling kids.
 But what  can you do?
 When your mum's  in Rampton bouncing  off the walls
 And singing 'Who's afraid  of Virginia Wade?'
Why  do that today when you can always  put it off until tomorrow?
 Was our motto, subsequently  engraved  on a plaque
 As a reminder of  the attack  of Vitas  Gerulaitis.
 We all fall down,  we all fall down,
 We all fall down,  we all fall down,
Who's afraid  of Virginia Wade?
Who's afraid  of Virginia Wade?
 An outbreak  of Vitas Gerulaitis  in the town
 In the town, in  the town, in  the town
 We all  fall down.
