A thing of beauty is a joy forever For ever and ever and ever and ever A thing of beauty is a thing to treasure For ever and ever and ever and ever Like taking Tiger Mountain, Loaded as well Sterling and Nancy, the Sikkorskis from Hell A thing of beauty is a joy forever But be careful where you walk. I came down like a building in Bremen Wham bam terrific and I don't feel ashamed And if you ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies I ain't here for long and I don't need ties Now, not ever not ever, ooh not ever I ride on the bus and I don't care about the weather A thing of beauty is a joy forever but be careful Oh why don't you be careful Where you walk.
