Woodchopper - Steve Harley

You give me valentine, think you’re a writer

You hit the ceiling, now you’re a fighter

You dance a tap, you look like a plumber

You flash a smile, become a summer, are you a summer?

You grow a daffodil, then you’re a gardener

You pick a few chords and now you’re Wagner

You play a trick on me, think you’re magician

You dance the bump, babe, you cause collision, see, a collision

(Bang bang) I’m a carpenter, carpenter

(Chop chop) I’m a woodchopper, yeah

(Oh bang bang) I’m a carpenter, carpenter

(Chop chop) I’m a woodchopper, yeah

Hey, pop star.

You make the chart once, they call you star kid

You play snap, you’re the Cincinnati Kid

You shake your rhythm stick, they adore you Dan in Chelsea

You beat the slot machine, you think you’re wealthy, are you wealthy, hey, ooo?

You make a fascist stance, you’re this year’s model

Anybody knows boy, it’s all a doddle

It takes a lawyer, boys, a month to mail yer

We’ve all gone mad, no sense of values, no sense of values, ooo

(Bang bang) I’m a carpenter, carpenter

(Chop chop) I’m a woodchopper, yeah

(Oh bang bang) I’m a carpenter, carpenter

(Chop chop) I’m a woodchopper.

You’ve been a fickle lot since time immemorial

The lunacy stems, I’m sure, from editorial

But pay me no heed, I’m just accusatorial

But that’s the way it is, I’m sorry y’all, I’m sorry y’all.

(Bang bang) I’m a carpenter, carpenter

(Chop chop) I’m a woodchopper, yeah

(Oh bang bang) I’m a carpenter, carpenter

(Chop chop) I’m a woodchopper, yeah.

(Bang bang) I’m a carpenter, carpenter

(Chop chop) I’m a woodchopper, woodchopper

(Oh bang bang) I’m a carpenter, carpenter

(Chop chop) oh I’m a woodchopper, yeah yeah yeah yeah.
