lyrics

Hello there and welcome to this song and it’s topic
Although once it’s started you’d prefer to stop it
Like a horror you’re glued to you can’t retreat
Like car crash viewing you can’t leave your seat
Like Corbyn in a Disco, Trump in a mankini
Delores Umbridge popping round for tea
Jimmy Carr’s laugh on a loop for all time
Non-stop repeats of Last of the Summer Wine
It’s a truth, a reality that dawns on us all
One we brush under the rug and try to ignore
But there’s no holding back you just need to admit
That once upon a time – Your parents did it

Yeah they did it, they did it, it’s simple and it’s true
But the evidence that they did it is standing in your shoes
Yeah they did it, they did it more than just one time
And now that mental image is firmly planted in your mind

Yeah I’ve tried to ignore it, tried to fight
But it’s like your Nan trying to play Fortnite
It’s engrained like a trench in the ground
I don’t want to cross it but there’s no way around
Once upon a time your Mum and Dad met
Whether love at first sight or to settle a bet
And although it might make your skin shudder
They definitely bumped uglies with each other
Knocked boots, got down, went all the way
No matter how you say it the meaning’s the same
I’m sorry to raise it and make you confront
The horror we all try to run from

Yeah they did it, they did it, and the proof of the pudding is you
Your parents did some smushing, and probably enjoyed it too
Yeah they did it, they did it but don’t look so repulsed
Cause everybody else’s folks did too, we’re all just the biological results

So take your hands of your ears, and open your eyes
It’s not like this should come as a massive surprise
You didn’t appear like some magician’s trick
Your mum just got too close to your dad’s… emotions

Yeah they did it, they did it, just face the facts and find
That mental image permanently scarred within your mind
Yeah they did it, they did it but here’s a thought in which to dwell
That because your parents did we know, your nan and grandad did as well
