Don't Quote Me On That

It's all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Did you hear the one, yeah yeah
The one they wrote in the papers just the other day
Well, well would you believe it
Well what I said, they took it all the wrong way

Now you've gotta be careful, 'bout what you say
'Cause they've got a bad habit
Were you reading in between the lines?
Or is that what I said? Now I just can't remember

They seem to have a very good memory though
But as far as I'm concerned, as, as far as I'm concerned
You don't have to be black, white, Chinese or anything really
Just enjoy, shut up, listen and dance

It's all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Don't quote me on that, don't quote me on that
Don't quote me on that, please don't quote me
Don't quote me on that
Don't quote me on that

Hey, hey, do you know something, I said I liked that guy
But that's not what I read in the paper
I don't have anything against them
It's just eggs, bacon, beans, and a fried slice

Don't quote me on that, don't quote me on that
Don't quote me on that (please don't quote me)
Don't quote me on that

You know, now we get worried about what we say
You know, we shouldn't be that way
You know, I don't care who comes
'Cause as far as I'm concerned
It's, eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Don't quote me on that
Don't quote me on that
Please don't quote me

Mama, mama, you know I'm still friends with Mickey
They say that I shouldn't like him anymore, because I'm all white
Well he's alright by me

Don't quote me on that
Please don't quote me
Don't quote me on that
Don't quote me on that

Now what I do is, is, I bring all my old friends along to see the show
And if you have the wrong ideas well
It's all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Don't quote me on that, oh no
(Don't quote me on that)
Please don't quote me
I never said that (don't quote me on that)

That's not what I meant (don't quote me on that)
Well I suppose you could take it that way (don't quote me on that)
But that's not what I meant to say (don't quote me on that)
Won't you give me another chance (don't quote me on that)
Please, please (don't quote me on that)
Don't quote me on that

I'd like to say thank you to Pete, Peter Tosh

And all the other people who come
And they believe in us for the fun and the music
'Cause all I've got to say to you press now is
It's all eggs, bacon, beans, and a fried slice

Eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice
Go to Maggie's gaff
132 Liverpool Road
Down the road, just round the corner
There's not much fun
It's just chairs and tables and they've even got a Space Invaders machine
A cup of tea, that's fine for me
'Cause its all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Are you sure you turned that tape recorder off?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
