The Beta Band Rap Lyrics - Beta Band

We're the Beta Band and we're nice and clean 

We're always polite and hardly ever mean 

Times have changed, we used to be smelly 

We lived in a squat 'til a punk nicked our telly 

Since we've been signed we eat real good 

We always wash our hands and chew our food 

Quashis rotis are our favorite dish 

Served spicy with chicken or fish 

In the world of fashion there's two shining lights 

Nancy and Caroline they helped us alright 

And Gordon Anderson played a big part 

Just when the Beta Band was about to start 

It all started in London town 

When we gave our demo to Phil Brown 

Then we met Miles at Parlophone 

And let him hear dogs got a bone 

He said go to Falkner and put it on wax 

So the next week was spent cutting four tracks 

Now a manager was needed to make us complete 

Miles knew a Wigner we should meet 

[Incomprehensible] 

His name was Dave with the broken specs 

A quiet manner and enough respect 

We met at Nachos and cleaned the plate 

A meal like that we'd never ate 

Then we met Brian and the Microdot crew 

Martin, Matt and John Plat too 

Adrenalin Village was the place to be 

We had no money so they got us in free 

The first thing Dave did as boss 

Was make us play Water Rats in Kings Cross 

We played five songs got credit for four 

Went down well so we decided to tour 

Next up was Henry and Nich 

Making the show go without a hitch 

Up and down the country and side to side 

With big yin driving it's a bumpy ride 

Miles gave us an album deal 

We said yes and went for a meal 

Drinking champagne at EMI 

The irony almost made us cry 

[Incomprehensible] 

We went to Wales and fannyed around 

Ended up with the Patty Patty Sound 

With open minds we went to achieve 

Chris Allison caught it all on Neive 

He hummed and hawed and became a pest 

Twittering on about the old Neive desk 

We had to call in Keith and Miles 

When Chris' hair got caught in the dials 

We started to get known on Radio One 

When Jo Whiley got a fax from my mum 

Mary Ann Hobbs invited us to play 

At Maida Vale we spent a day 

With Chris Allison's hair cut free 

It was time for Cornwall and the third EP 

With a glock and a sax and a mighty gong 

All we needed was a hit pop song 

We thought this time we were on a good start 

But they made a new rule that banned us from the chart 

The songs were good so we didn't give a toss 

And we called it Los Amigos Del Beta Bandidos
