I Believe 

Ian Dury And The Blockheads

I believe in bottle banks

And beauty from within

I believe in saying thanks

And fresh air on the skin



I believe in healthy walks

As tonic for the feet

I believe in serious talks

And just enough to eat



That's what I believe

Although it seems naïve

I believe in Santa Claus

To give is to receive

That's what I believe



I believe in 'bob-a-job'

And life in outer space

I believe an open gob

Does nothing for your face



I believe in being nice

In spite of what you think

I believe in good advice

And not too much to drink



That's what I believe

Surprising as it seems

I believe that happiness

Is well within our dreams



That's what I believe

Although it seems naïve

I believe that peace and love

Are there to be achieved



I believe in being fair

St. Pancras station from the air

I believe in taking care

Moonshine sparkles in your hair



I believe in being true

In everything you try to do

I believe in me and you

I hope you share my point of view



I believe in being kind

Especially when it's hard

I believe an open mind

Can show a fine regard



I believe that manners make

A person good to know

I believe in birthday cake

And going with the flow



That's what I believe

As strange as it may be

I believe this attitude

Is good enough for me



That's what I believe

Although it seems naïve

I believe it simplifies

The tangled web we weave



That's what I believe...
