Quiet
[Verse 1]
Excuse me, excuse me
Get right out of the way

[Refrain]
Quiet! (Flop-flops)

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry, beg pardon
The fault's entirely yours

[Refrain]
Quiet! (Big chops)

[Verse 3]
Your Highness, your Worship
You silly pompous ass

[Refrain]
Quiet! (Ah-ahs)

[Chorus]
Quiet! You're making such a racket
Quiet! Why must you be so loud?
Quiet! It's costing me a packet
Quiet! Persistent louts and clowns
[Verse 4]
Hello there, how are you?
Pee off!

[Refrain]
Quiet! (Sweet trips)

[Verse 5]
Look, honest? Really?
Lies

[Refrain]
Quiet! (Prune juice)

[Verse 6]
How lovely! How charming!
Horrible

[Refrain]
Quiet! (Wee-wees)

[Chorus]
Quiet! Or else there will be measures
Quiet! Stop this unholy row
Quiet! Shut up, you little treasures
Quiet! When you've been told, and how
[Bridge]
Alright, little chap
Get back on mummy's lap
There may well be chastisements if you do not shut your trap
Just sit quite still
Fold arms, face front

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Quiet! You're making such a din-din
Quiet! Why don't you please keep quiet?
Quiet! No one else is listening
Quiet! Utterly sick and tired
Quiet!

[Outro]
Shh, shh, shh, shh...
Shh, shh, shh, shh...
