JOIN THE GANG
ELet me introduce you to the gang,
EJohnny plays the sitar he's an existentialist,
Eonce he had an aim,      now he plays our game.
EYou will feel so good now that you've joined the gang.
GMolly is a model in the ads,
Gcrazy clothes and acid, full of soul and crazy hip,
Gsome-one switched her on,    Fthen her beam went wrong,
G'cause she can't switch off now that she's Fjoined the Ggang.
AArthur is a singer with a band,
AArthur drinks two bottles just before he goes on stage,
Alook at Arthur rave,      Gall the kids have paid,
they Awant to see the croaking man who Gjoined the Agang.
GThis club's called the web it's the month's pick,
Gnext month we shall find a place where prices ain't so stiff,
Gfifteen bob a coke,       'Ffraid that's past a joke,
Gthis is how to spend now that you've Fjoined the Ggang.
AThis is what to do now that you're here,
Asit 'round doing nothing altogether very fast,
Apsychedelic stars,       Gthrowing down cigars,
they're Apicking up the joints now that they've Gjoined the Agang.
AYou won't be alone      we've Gall got beer-y grins
Ebit's a big illusion, but at Dleast you're in,-
Aat Gleast you're Ain.
