Lazy Sunday Lyrics
Wouldn't it be nice
To get on with me neighbours
But they make it very clear
They've got no room for ravers
They stop me from groovin',
They bang on me wall
They doing me crust in
It's no good at all
Lazy Sunday afternoon
I got no mind to worry
I close my eyes and drift away
Here we all are sittin' in a rainbow
Gore blimey hello Mrs Jones
How's old Bert's lumbago (mustn't grumble)
I'll sing you a song,
With no words and no tune
To sing in your party
While you suss out the moon
Lazy Sunday afternoon,
I got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away
Root-de-doo-de-doo
Root-de-doot-de die day
Root-de doot de dum
Root-de-doo-de-doo dee
There's no one to hear me,
There's nothing to say
And no one can stop me
From feelin' this way
Lazy Sunday afternoon
I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away
To get on with me neighbours
But they make it very clear
They've got no room for ravers
They stop me from groovin',
They bang on me wall
They doing me crust in
It's no good at all
I got no mind to worry
I close my eyes and drift away
Gore blimey hello Mrs Jones
How's old Bert's lumbago (mustn't grumble)
I'll sing you a song,
With no words and no tune
To sing in your party
While you suss out the moon
I got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away
Root-de-doot-de die day
Root-de doot de dum
Root-de-doo-de-doo dee
There's nothing to say
And no one can stop me
From feelin' this way
I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away

Correction 1: They doing me crust in
should be They're doin' me crust in
British slang for "They are sending me crazy"
Correction 2:
To sing in your party
should be
To sing in ya karzi
British slang for toilet, in this case located in the back yard where one could sit and gaze at the moon.
To sing in your party
Commenters are right, but I think its 'sit on your kharzi' - and spelt with an 'h'. Indian, origianlly I think, brought back from the Empire.

The words "Gore Blimey" or "Gor Blimey" is a phrase originally used by Londoners, generally in the East End and is a contraction of the phrase "God blind me" which is an oath. As an example "God blind me if I'm telling a lie." I also thought the lyrics were "'ow's your Bert's lumbago?" I must admit that no matter how often I heard that song when playing pool in my mis-spent youth during the '70s, I didn't realise it said "To sing in ya Karzi."

I'm pretty damn sure the words are
"To sing in your karzi while you flush out the moon"
If you listen closely, you can hear the outside loo being flushed just after Steve sings it.
Hehe I never looked at the lyrics before - always thought it was 'How's your BIRD'S lumbago' which I thought was weird - was I right or wrong?
I always thought it was "How's your Bert's lumbago" which is a combination of what is posted and Sunnyhill's version
I always thought it was "So sit in your khazi while you suss out the moon" - i.e. sit on the toilet and try and work out what the moon's all about. But I concede it may be "So sing in your khazi".
A lovely, wild, rambunctious song about nothing and everything. Ca't help but wiggle your eyebrows when you sing along, I find :)
