Lyrics for Bigmouth Strikes Again

Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking When I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head Oh-oh, sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking When I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed And now I know how Joan of Arc felt Now I know how Joan of Arc felt As the flames rose to her Roman nose And her Walkman started to melt Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da Bigmouth, la-da-da-da Bigmouth strikes again And I've got no right to take my place to the human race Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da Bigmouth, la-da-da-da Bigmouth strikes again And I've got no right to take my place to the human race And now I know how Joan of Arc felt Now I know how Joan of Arc felt As the flames rose to her Roman nose And her hearing aid started to melt Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da Bigmouth, la-da-da-da Bigmouth strikes again And I've got no right to take my place to the human race Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Bigmouth, oh-oh-oh, ha-ha Bigmouth, la-da-da-da Bigmouth strikes again And I've got no right to take my place to the human race Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Bigmouth, oh-oh-oh, ha-ha Bigmouth, la-da-da-da Bigmouth strikes again And I've got no right to take my place to the human race Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da Bigmouth, la-da-da-da Bigmouth strikes again And I've got no right to take my place to the human race
