(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

There ain't half been some clever bastards.
Probably got help from their mum

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Oh!

De dump di dump de dump-dump-diddle li-lee.
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
