Ian Dury - Common As Muck Lyrics






You're not Bridget Bardot, I'm not Jack Palance
I'm not Shirley Temple by any circumstance
Or Fred Astaire

You're not Sydney Tafler, I'm not Dirk Bogarde
I'm not very stylish and you're not avant garde
Or Lionel Blair

We're as common as muck
Bonne chance, viel Glück, good luck
Where bold is beautiful we don't give a damn
Luvva duck, we're as common as muck

You're not Victor Hugo, I'm not Patience Strong
I'm not Rodney Reigate or Evonne Goolagong
Shirley Abicair, oh!

I'm not Nellie Melba, you're not Nellie Dean
We do our best endeavours to keep our doobries clean
Because we care!

We're as common as muck
Buona fortuna, vayas con Dios, good luck!
Where bold is beautiful we don't give a damn
Luvva duck, we're as common as muck

We're as common as muck
Bonne chance, viel Glück, good luck
Where bold is beautiful we don't give a damn
Luvva duck, we're as common as muck

    Guess I so. I traced mt family tree back as far as to Gustav 5th, King of Sweden, my great great grandad, then, back further, to Finehair himsel, Fine hair had 6 wives we know, 12 wives just got dismissed., so, we got a lot of family out there. (I'm just a Jarl you know)
