Beginners 101 lyrics
by Madness
[Verse 1]
And so it came
Not like any other game
Don't stand too close to the flame
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
We took the money and gone
A flight to Cologne or maybe Bon
A suit made from mo' hair
A little flair
Some brill creamed hair, yeah
Up over the roof
A rope, a jimmy, something waterproof
Where eagles dare
A self proclaimed millionaire
[Pre-Chorus]
Under a silvery moon
We couldn't finish the job too soon
A nod, a wink and uncomfortable glance
The man from the special branch
"'Ello son"
[Chorus]
I should have known
Something wasn't right
It's beginners 101
Into the night
Before the daylight
We was having fun (Having fun)
A little hit and run
One for all and all for one
And finish what we begun
[Verse 2]
Was it all a charade
A mistake to have stayed
Ain't them bars of gold
A sight to behold
A panama so bold
[Chorus]
I should have known
Something wasn't right
It's beginners 101
Into the night
Before the daylight
We should have guessed
Did it pass the idiot test?
It's beginners 101
Just a burner phone
This bird has flown
