So you think that you have seen her

When you're lying in between her

And you tell me that you don't care

Busy bodies getting nowhere


Everybody's getting meaner

Busy bodies

Caught in the concertina


You check her outline

Break her regulations

You watch her legs through several

Service stations


Busy bodies

Very busy

Getting nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere


Now you're ready for the merger

With the company you're part of

And you do the dirty business

With your latest sleeping partner


You're becoming

Automatic

Busy bodies

Out playing with the traffic


You want attention

You try my patience

With the best intentions you are nothing but a nuisance


Busy bodies

Busy busy

Getting nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere


Now you've given your performance

Though the matinee was idle

And you find out that a wave of her right hand

Could seem so tidal


Just a second

Satisfaction

Busy bodies

Temporarily out of action


You wash and brush up

You want to dress up

You want to kiss her

But she's busy with her makeup


Busy bodies

Very busy

Getting nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
