The Golden Rule Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

I wouldn't be glad wouldn't be sad 

I wouldn't be good if I knew what I could 

And I hate to go 

But I must you know 

Duty calls 

Niagara falls 

See it go down 

As it falls on the ground 

And gets up again 

At the count of ten 

I would like everyone here to repeat after me 

Something of which I know nothing about 

Namely that which I will tell you 

(that which I will tell you) 

I'm going to school breaking a rule 

I'm going around in a pitiful frown 

Cause I didn't pass (came) 

Bottom of the class (oh! what a shame) 

Teacher was mad 

So was me dad 

Took off his belt 

And without any help 

Really hit me hard 

Where I'd stuck a card 

Thick I may be but a fool I am certainly not 

Always remember the golden rule 

When in no doubt get a car out 

And while you're there how about, 

Fetching me one of those pneumatic drills 

Boy! I really love the sound that they make 

So good for the pains and aches of life in general 

Don't be such a miser 

At the most a fiver's all you pay 

Many's the time 

I have wondered about what it is 

I want you all to repeat after me 

Something I know you know I know 

(Something I know you know I know) 

I wouldn't behold wouldn't be cold 

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my 

Dear old mum and dad 

And the fun they had 

Early one night 

Dad put out the light 

Got hold of me mum 

Said he wanted a son 

And as you can see 

The result was me 

Somebody told me once money does not grow on trees 

Well if that's true then how do you explain 

Apples oranges and lemons 

Not forgetting melons
