Let's Go To a Concert and Talk

from Let's Take Offence! by Andrew London Trio

/

lyrics

I’m bored - let’s go out. Let’s put ourselves about - I’m tired of the usual
round
We’ve been seen in all the cafes, well at least the ones in vogue
and set the bar for boorish bad behaviour, by intellectual bogans so

I need -something new - something new and fun to do -
my sense of self-importance needs a boost
we’ll come right out and insult cha’ while we vandalise ya culture
let’s go out to a concert and talk.

3/4
Let’s go out to a concert and talk,
the band won’t complain, just as long as we’re payin’
and the peasants can jump up and down and exclaim
hey why don’t you go take a walk?
we can giggle and snort like the Duchess of York
Let’s go out to a concert and talk

and, be great, to be fashionably late
we can move chairs around, let them scrape on the ground
let coins fall from pockets, watch eyes roll in sockets,
let mass indignation abound;
if one and one’s date can make everyone wait,
hey great to be fashionably late

Let’s go out to a movie and chat
be sociable neighbours and make some new friends
we can offer them popcorn, let slip how it ends, take the
front row and wear a tall hat….
….have a jolly good natter about this and that,
Let’s go out to a movie and chat.

Bring the wine, pop the cork, watch them stutter and squawk,
let’s go out ….to a concert and talk
