People said we couldnt play
The called us foul-mothed yobs
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads
They all drowned when the air turned blue
cos we didnt give a toss
Filthy lucre, aint nothing new
But we all get cash from the chaos
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rocknroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
E.m.i. said youre out of hand
And they gave us the boot
But they couldnt sack us, just like that
Without giving us the loot
Thank you kindly a & m
They said we were out of bounds
But that aint bad for two weeks work
And 75,000 pounds
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rocknroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rocknroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
I just wanna play with my hand
Are you good enough for me
Hiya boys Im the choosen one
Cant you fucking see
Im a jealous God and I want everything
And I love you with a knife
Ill take you, if youre ready for me
And Ill give you my life
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rocknroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
The time is right for nickeys special
The greatest rocknroll star
The time is right for me, now!
