    Oh Mr. Soft believe ev'rything they tell you
    And be damned if they'll thank you
    You paint ev'rything so cruel
    Comin' on like mister cool
    Paint your face and shut the gate
    No one's comin' home till late - ooh-la cha
    Bom bom bom bom
    Don't you know, life gets tedious enough
    Without this extra grudge to bare
    You so slow, shift your ideas, make your mind up
    In a jiffy, let's be fair
    We'd all be taken off tonight
    Turn off your eyes and shut the light
    Oh, you're the most, you're so unreal
    We'd all be dead without your spiel
    Ooh-la ooh take it
    Mmmmmm ....
    Ooh - bom bom bom bom
    Oh Mr. Soft, go to town and bring the dawnin'
    In the mornin' on your way
    Mr. Soft, put your feet upon the waters
    And play Jesus for that day
    You begin to hear them mumble
    Spot the starman, ruff and tumble
    Fight the good fights, sling your axe
    Watch the speaker, lead the packs
    Ooh - here we go again
