Why are we racing to be so old?<br>
I'm up late pacing the floor
I'm up late pacing the floor<br>
 
I won't be told<br>
I won't be told
You have your reservations<br>
 
I'm bought and sold<br>
You have your reservations
<br>
 
I'll face the music<br>
I'm bought and sold
I'll face the facts<br>
 
Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks<br>
 
<br>
 
Bowing and squawking<br>
I'll face the music
Running after titbits<br>
 
Bobbing and squinting<br>
I'll face the facts
Just like a nitwit<br>
 
<br>
Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks
Two little Hitlers will fight it out until<br>
 
One little Hitler does the other one's will<br>
 
I will return<br>
 
I will not burn<br>
Bowing and squawking
Down in the basement<br>
 
<br>
Running after titbits
I need my head examined<br>
 
I need my eyes excited<br>
Bobbing and squinting
I'd like to join the party<br>
 
But I was not invited<br>
Just like a nitwit
You make a member of me<br>
 
I'll be delighted<br>
 
<br>
 
I wouldn't cry for lost souls, you might drown<br>
Two little Hitlers will fight it out until
Dirty words for dirty minds<br>
 
Written in a toilet town<br>
One little Hitler does the other one's will
<br>
 
Dial me a Valentine<br>
I will return
She's a smooth operator<br>
 
It's all so calculated<br>
I will not burn
She's got a calculator<br>
 
She's my soft touch typewriter<br>
Down in the basement
And I'm the great dictator<br>
 
<br>
 
(Chorus)<br>
 
<br>
I need my head examined
A simple game of self-respect<br>
 
You flick a switch and the world goes off<br>
I need my eyes excited
Nobody jumps as you expect<br>
 
I would have thought you would have had enough by now<br>
I'd like to join the party
<br>
 
You call selective dating<br>
But I was not invited
For some effective mating<br>
 
I thought I'd let you down, dear<br>
You make a member of me
But you were just deflating<br>
 
<br>
I'll be delighted
I knew right from the start<br>
 
We'd end up hating<br>
 
Pictures of the merchandise<br>
 
Plastered on the wall<br>
I wouldn't cry for lost souls, you might drown
We can look so long as we don't have to talk at all<br>
 
<br>
Dirty words for dirty minds
You say you'll never know him<br>
 
He's an unnatural man<br>
Written in a toilet town
He doesn't want your pleasure<br>
 
He wants as no one can<br>
 
He wants to know the names of<br>
 
All those he's better than<br>
Dial me a Valentine

lyrics for
Two Little Hitlers

Why are we racing to be so old?
I'm up late pacing the floor
I won't be told
You have your reservations
I'm bought and sold

I'll face the music
I'll face the facts
Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks

Bowing and squawking
Running after titbits
Bobbing and squinting
Just like a nitwit

Two little Hitlers will fight it out until
One little Hitler does the other one's will
I will return
I will not burn
Down in the basement

I need my head examined
I need my eyes excited
I'd like to join the party
But I was not invited
You make a member of me
I'll be delighted

I wouldn't cry for lost souls, you might drown
Dirty words for dirty minds
Written in a toilet town

Dial me a Valentine
She's a smooth operator
It's all so calculated
She's got a calculator
She's my soft touch typewriter
And I'm the great dictator

(Chorus)

A simple game of self-respect
You flick a switch and the world goes off
Nobody jumps as you expect
I would have thought you would have had enough by now

You call selective dating
For some effective mating
I thought I'd let you down, dear
But you were just deflating

I knew right from the start
We'd end up hating
Pictures of the merchandise
Plastered on the wall
We can look so long as we don't have to talk at all

You say you'll never know him
He's an unnatural man
He doesn't want your pleasure
He wants as no one can
He wants to know the names of
All those he's better than

(Chorus)

I will return
I will not burn
(repeats)
