Houdini Said Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

Doctor in love who is above 

All others close to you 

Is it the Queen is it obscene 

Tell me I want you to 

Oh I've often wondered what it is that incites 

So many young people to take part in those riots 

Whereby all men in blue are the targets to destroy 

Lady be good I wish you would 

Meanwhile exclusively 

Have I the right to print in spite 

Of what your views would be 

Concerning those matters of the utmost degree 

The point being the question and the question being he 

Who laughs first has a thirst to laugh longest 

Has he? 

Over there (over where) 

Over there (over where) 

On the wall (what wall) 

The one in the hall (oh the hall) 

I can see (we can see) 

Well you could have fooled me 

Some take the attitude that life is a drag 

They say and I quote "Man it just isn't our bag" 

But if that's where it's at why the hell don't they go 

Houdini said to get out of bed 

Was the hardest thing he could do 

Yet when he's tied strait-jacket plied 

He's out at the count of two 

It seems elementary my dear Watson I know 

But think what would happen if for instance this show 

That we're in should begin not one hour but 

Two late 

Over there (over where) 

Over there (over where) 

On the wall (what wall) 

The one in the hall (oh the hall) 

I can see (we can see) 

Well you could have fooled me
