You Play Glockenspiel, I'll Play Drums Lyrics - Beautiful South

There's a boy with a brace across his teeth 

White socks, tattooed underneath 

Bus tickets chitched up in his palm 

Stood there he's spinning a yarn 

There's a girl with a plastic pair of shoes 

Two eyes permanently bruised 

Can't find the time to be alarmed 

Just stood spinning a yarn 

Just take your time 

It'll work out fine 

It'll do no harm 

To spin your yarn 

You do English 

I'll do sums 

You break fingers 

I'll break thumbs 

You play Dads 

And I'll play Mums 

You play Glockenspiel 

And I'll play drums 

My name is Derek from then den 

I deal in shillings and in pence 

I'll get you amy deal you like 

Ten sweets for a mountain bike you like 

My name is Mandy from the yard 

I deal in crazy tarot cards 

I'll tell you what the future brings 

One cat and a dog that sings 

You do English 

I'll do sums 

You break fingers 

I'll break thumbs 

You play Dads 

And I'll play Mums 

You play Glockenspiel 

And I'll play drums 

Just take your time 

It'll work out fine 

It'll do no harm 

To spin your yarn 

You do English 

I'll do sums 

You break fingers 

I'll break thumbs 

You play Dads 

And I'll play Mums 

You play Glockenspiel 

And I'll play drums
