Noel Coward was a charmer,
As a writer, he was drama.
Velvet jackets and py-jamas,
The gay di-vorce and other dramas.
There ain't half been some clever bastards,
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders),
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.
Van Gough did some eyeball pleasers,
He must have been a pencil squeezer.
He didn't do the Mona Lisa; that was an Italian geezer.
There ain't half been some clever bastards,
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders),
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.
Einstein can't be classed as witless;
He claimed atoms were the littlest.
When you did a bit of splittemness,
Frighten everybody shitless.
There ain't half been some clever bastards,
Probably got help from their mum,
(Who had help from her mum).
There ain't half been some clever bastards,
Now that we've had some,
Let's hope that there's lots more to come.
There ain't half been some clever bastards,
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders),
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.
Okey-dokey!
Oh!
Se-govia.
Da-laa la-laa da-daa da-lee,
De dump di dump, de dump-dump-diddle lum-lee.
There ain't half been some clever bastards,
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders),
There ain't half been some clever bastards,
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders).
There ain't half been some clever bastards,
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders),
There ain't half been some clever...bastards!
