The Mumble Rumble And The Cocktail Rock

Ian Dury

Compositor: Ian Dury / Russell Hardy

Woke up this morning in a state of shock
I heard the mumble rumble and a cocktail rock
A faint wheeze like a slide trombone
That is Diana thinking all alone

It's the mumble rumble
And the cocktail rock
You do the mumble rumble
And the cocktail rock
You do the mumble rumble
Cocktail rock

I've been around the weary dream
The mumble rumble got me up again
I climbed out of bed, I called a Doc
I don't need you

The mumble rumble
And the c-c-c-c-c-c-cocktail rock
I got the mumble rumble
And the c-c-c-c-c-c-cocktail rock
The mumble rumble
Cocktail rock

Well now I'm fit, I'm ready to go
My mumble fast, my cocktail slow
I'll keep mine going around the clock
M-m-m-m-mumble

The mumble rumble
And the c-c-c-c-c-c-cocktail rock
I got the mumble rumble
And the c-c-c-c-c-c-cocktail rock
The mumble rumble
Cocktail rock

Well now that I'm fit, I'm ready to go
My mumble fast, my cocktail slow
I'll keep mine going around the clock
M-m-m-m-mumble rumble
And the c-c-c-c-c-c-cocktail rock
I got the mumble rumble
And the c-c-c-c-c-c-cocktail rock
The mumble rumble
Cocktail rock
