about

words and music by Andrew London

lyrics

You got a minute or two to get through to me
cos I start to wander, maybe scratch my knee
start looking round at girls and shops
and from that point on you got a minute tops
May as well just talk to the hand I got a short attention span

Baby there’s something that you gotta say
better put up a sign make me look your way
cover yourself in chocolate sauce
do a highland fling with a talking horse
get a microphone or a marching band I got a short attention span

You won’t get a long conversation with me
my attention wanders, is it quarter to three?
I gotta be somewhere, prob’ly get there late
baby I just can’t concentrate

so and if you wanna get through to me
better set off something like Apollo Three
get me a drink get me something to eat
go get yourself a part on Shortland Street
tell me quick, I’m a typical man I got a short attention span.
