As A Rule Lyrics - Singles - Gilbert Osullivan

Now I'm not, I repeat not anyway a prude 

But the sight of two people cavorting on stage 

Doing what can only be termed a natural act 

Is unless you wear a raincoat only good for a laugh 

As a rule, I never smoke while on duty 

It just isn't on do I make myself clear 

Though at times if there nobody's looking I will 

I mean, life's too short and if I didn't smoke I bet 

What with the luck that I have 

I'd probably die of warty and, that would be that 

Who would have thought it was humanly possible 

To mate an elephant with a kangaroo 

Well as my dear old mother once said in a rage 

"next thing you know they'll have pigs an the stage" 

Whoever said blue skies were better than red 

Must have been talking from out of his hat 

I mean whose ever heard of a blue sky at night 

Don't like waiting or suffocating 

In over crowded tubes 

But I like good wine with my dinner don't you 

Yes we do
