Lyrics

[This is a sample collage, with the same samples repeated many, many times. But I can at least tell you what the individual bits are...]

Would you like some sweets, Willy? What would you like then?

Can I have, one of these, and one of these, and two of those, please?

Come on, auntie, we'll miss the bus!

B.L.T. Mr and Mrs J A(?) Summers.

Here's Bertie(?)!

L.S.D.

It's the new money, you know.

References

The last two samples come from a single telling listeners how to change from pounds, shillings and pence into decimal currency. (The UK decimalised it's previously very strange money system at the start of 1971.) Said single is mentioned in Jon Savage's sleevenotes to Foxbase Alpha.

The melodic sample that repeats throughout the song comes from Hey Jude by Wilson Pickett.
