If you're a pub man or a club man
Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi
A white cool cat with a trilby hat
Maybe leather and studs is where you're at
Make the most of every day
Don't let hard times stand in your way
Give a wham give a bam but don't give a damn
Cos the benefit gang are gonna pay!

A                     C          D

C                     D
It's gonna break your daddy's heart, (too bad)
A
But you'll throw the dice and take my advice
C                          D
Because I know that you're smart
A
Can you dig this thing? Yeah!
C                       D
