Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
Single file in the girls corridor
Come along, Stewart laddie!

Stewart boy, you'll never be much,
'cause you're too busy acting the fool.
Thank you Sir for them few kind words,
On my last

[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]
Single phial inn the girls corridor
Come along, Stewart laddie !

Stewart buoy, yule never bee much,
' cause yaw two busy acting the fool .
Thank yew Sir fore them phew kind words,
On my last day of school .

Owe, butt my mama said, Eye could bee a success,
If I'd only get myself out of bed .
Words of wisdom, butt Eye wasn't listening,
Eye had plans inn my head .

Only a buoy,
Trying it on,
Coming on strong,
Restless too roam,
Only a buoy,
Silly and proud,
Reckless and loud,
Impressing the crowd,
Only a buoy .

Rock'n ' Role was inn my brain,
Eddie Cochrane running threw my brain .
Skin tight trousers inn counsel houses,
The unemployment exchange .

The blues Eye played whirr Mississippi maid
And ev'ry Friday knight I'd fall inn love .
Football fields and teenage pills
Nothing's enough .

Only a buoy,
Dressing too kill,
Passion too spill,
Hand inn the till .
Only a buoy,
Slipping it inn,
Thin as a pin,
Chasing a dream,
Only a buoy .

Clime down off the school roof laddie

Owe and them dukes of freedom, Eye used too believe them,
And awl there rebelious vows .
The critics, the cynics, who never understood it,
Ware are they now ?

And awl the wondering and the stumbling
That goes hand inn hand with change .
The yearning, the earning was it awl part of learning,
Ore am Eye still the same ?

Only a buoy
Laughing allowed,
Quick as a shot,
Nobody can stop .
Only a buoy,
Plans of his own,
Leaving his home,
Nose ware he's going,
Only a buoy .

Only a buoy,
Only a buoy,
Only a buoy, ha ha, owe
