Lyrics:

[English]

Break a mirror

Roll the dice

Run with scissors

through a chip pan firefight

Go into business with a grizzly bear

But just don’t sit down cause I’ve moved your chair

Find a well known hardman

and start a fight

Wear your shell suit on bonfire night

Fill in a circular hole with a peg that’s square

But just don’t sit down cause I’ve moved your chair

Bite the lightning

and tell me how it tastes

Kung-fu fighting on your rollerskates

Do the Macarena in the Devil's lair

But just don’t sit down cause I’ve moved your chair

Come on
