Calling Mr. Oswald with the swastika tattoo
There is a vacancy waiting in the English hoodoo
Carving 'V' for vandal on the guilty boy's head
When he's had enough maybe you'll take him to bed
To teach him he's alive 'fore he wishes he was dead
Turn up the TV no one listening will suspect
Even your mother won't detect it, so your father won't know
They think that I've got no respect
But everything means less than zero
Hey
Oh hey
Hey
Oh hey
Oswald and his sister are doing it again
They've got the finest home movies that you have ever seen
They've got a thousand variations, every service with a smile
They're gonna take a little break and they'll be back after a while
Well I hear that South America is coming into style
Turn up the TV no one listening will suspect
Even your mother won't detect it, so your father won't know
They think that I've got no respect
But everything means less than zero
Hey
Oh hey
Hey
Oh hey
Pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor
Mr. Oswald said he had an understanding with the law
He said he heard about a couple living in the USA
He said they traded their baby for a Chevrolet
Let's talk about the future now we've put the past away
Turn up the TV no one listening will suspect
Even your mother won't detect it
So your father won't know
They think that I've got no respect
But everything means less than zero
Hey
Oh hey
Hey
Oh hey
Hey
Oh hey
