lyrics

This is not a joining in song, it’s not a joining in song
It’s not a joining in song, so please don’t join in

I’ve not got time to teach you all the words
Or how to sing along with every single verse
Sometimes the temptation is too great
And all the lines seem served up on a plate
This is not one for you to sing and dance along
If you want that then wait for the Cheeky Song
Fingers on lips and sit on your hands
This one’s just for me and my one man band

This is not a joining in song, it’s not a joining in song
It’s not a joining in song, so please don’t join in

I know I like to keep things nice and chirpy
Fit into a genre described as quirky
But sometimes it gets to me
That nobody really takes me seriously
Sometimes I’d like people to listen intently
Focused like a Buckingham Palace sentry
But honestly it’s not even close to a maybe
Cause I stand on stage singing with my Ukulele

This is not a joining in song, it’s not a joining in song
It’s not a joining in song, so please don’t join in

This is just a song with a simple request
Just resist the temptation like when you diet for a wedding dress
Be like that bloke who’s a living statue
And shut up like we wish Katie Hopkins would do
I know I’m asking a lot from any fans
Like when “It’s Not Unusual” hits, and you don’t do the Carlton dance
So keep shtum when you’re hiding in an alley
Or like a minority at a KKK rally
