lyrics

I love your nose and your little fountain pen
I love your toes and the way they count to ten
You shouldn't leave till we do it all again
You and me and your big black big black big black grin

There's plenty time to win the new crusade
Plenty time to think up why you're late
You shouldn't leave till we do it all again
You and me and your big black big black big black

Boy with the big black grin
How did you get so thin?
From reading the newspapers again and again
Gets on your chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin

There's always time for one last cigarette
There's always time for your bow and arrow kit
You're sorry now but soon you won't regret
You always win with your big black big black big black

Boy with the big black grin
How did you get so thin?
From reading the newspapers again and again
Gets on your chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin

Boy with the big black grin
Does your mother know where you've been?
Taking coals to Newcastle all over again
Gets on your chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin

Big black big black big black big black big black
