It Ain't Cool 

Ian Dury And The Blockheads

You think it's cool to make me wait

With baited breath for what you say

You think it's cool to be the overlord

Of all that you survey

You think it's clever beinfg clever,

That you wear your fortune well

You think it's cool to be the foxy one,

But time alone will tell that -



It ain't cool

(It ain't cool)

It ain't cool

(It ain't cool)



You thin it's cool to be the comic,

Making cracks at my expense

You think it's cool to sit in judgement

When I ain't got no defense

You think it's witty being witty,

When you know my tongue is tied

You think it's cool to be a prankster

But your jokes are passing ride



It ain't cool

(It ain't cool)

It ain't cool

(It ain't cool)



It ain't cool to count your blessings one bye one

(it ain't cool)

It ain't cool to say you've done what you ain't done

(it ain't cool)

It ain't cool to claim your winnings

When you put on your beginnings

And another person's innings has begun



You think it's cool to be a sharpie

As you cout me down to size

But it ain't cool (it ain't cool)

You think it's cool to brush aside

The little people you dispise

But it ain't cool (it ain't cool)

You think it's niffty being niffty,

And you think you're no-one's fool

But you ain't cool (you ain't cool)

You think it's cool to hold your victim up

To cruel ridicule

But it ain't cool (it ain't cool)



It ain't cool to be a clucker

It ain't cool to be a crutt

It ain't cool to make your mucker

Wait upon that if you but

It ain't cool to think you're pucker

When you're tearing off a sheet

It ain't cool to make a sucker out

Of everyone you meet

It ain't cool (it ain't cool)



It ain't cool to count your blessings one bye one
