Oliver's army
All of the zombies
Oliver's army
Not misheard by me, track listing on a bootleg
All of us only are here to stay.
Oliver's Army are here to stay.
Call Korea's information
Call careers information
Don't start me porking I could pork all night
Don't start me talking I could talk all night
Eye of the zombie
Oliver's army
I was always here to stay
Olivers army is here to stay
I was wrong and I'm here to stay
I was wrong and I'm on my way
Oliver's Army is here to stay
Oliver's Army is on their way
Llandudno's full of Arabs.
London is full of Arabs.
I only got to know the correct lyric when Frank Skinner impersonated Costello singing this on 'Stars In Their Eyes'!
London is full of apps
London is full of Arabs
My Nan goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right
Olive Assami is on the way
Oliver's army is on the way.
Olive the zombie is on her way.
Oliver's army is on the way.
Oliver Zombie
Oliver's Army
Only takes one itchy trigger
One more little old less white nigger
Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger
Our love is always.
Oliver's army
Out of the zombie, you're here to pay.
Oliver's Army is here to stay.
There was a Czech born Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
There was a Checkpoint Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
There was a chap called Charlie
He did a crocodile
There was a checkpoint Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
There was a crap on Charlie
There was a checkpoint Charlie
We could sell you to Joanna's book
We could send you to Johannesburg
We could send you to Japan or Spain
We could send you to Johannesburg
We could send you to jump an iceberg
We could send you to Johannesburg
We could send you tutors and a clerk.
We could send you to Johannesburg.
We could send you two Joes and a Burt.
We could send you to Johannesburg.
With just the way they miss the judge's ear.
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear.
With the fires from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
