Oh You Pretty Things

Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know You’re driving your mamas and papas insane? Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know You’re driving your mamas and papas insane? Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the homo superior Wake up you sleepy heads Put on some clothes, shake up your beds Put another log on the fire for me I need some breakfast and coffee I look out my window and what do I see? A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me All the nightmares came today And it looks as though they’re here to stay What are we coming to? There’s no room for me, no fun for you I think about a world to come Where the books were found by the golden ones Written in pain, written in awe By the puzzled man who questioned What we were here for All the strangers came today And it looks as though they’re here to stay Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know You’re driving your mamas and papas insane? Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know You’re driving your mamas and papas insane? Let me say it again You gotta make way for the homo superior Look at your children Their faces in golden rays Don’t kid yourself they belong to you They’re the start of the coming race The earth is a beast, we’ve finished our news Homo sapiens have outgrown their use All the strangers came today And it looks as though they’re here to stay Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know You’re driving your mamas and papas insane? Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know You’re driving your mamas and papas insane? Let me say it again You gotta make way for the homo superior Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know You’re driving your mamas and papas insane? Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know You’re driving your mamas and papas insane? Let me say it again You gotta make way for the homo superior --- Oh You Pretty Things - Herman's Hermits and Peter Noone
