Don’t do as you’re told!

(Yeah, go on then, ignore this whole song!)

Verse 1

Don’t do as I say just give me a grin

Wear your jumper inside out, let the mischief begin

Keep your tea warm but spill the truth

Say you’re wise, then act uncouth

Verse 2

Queue politely, then cut in line

Say you're broke, but buy good wine

Dance alone like no one sees

Fall in love and lose your keys

Chorus

Hey there, mate!

Do as you’re told or maybe don’t!

Paint in the lines or maybe won’t!

We’re all mad, that’s how we roll

Tea in one hand, dreams in a bowl

Rules are made for someone else

Be yourself or be someone else!

It's a riot, it’s a romp

It’s a mess and it’s bloody brill

Verse 3

Hey there, mate!

Mind your manners, drop the plate

Stay out late and blame the mate

Say you’re sorry, wink instead

Laugh until your tea is dead

Hey there, mate!

Do as you’re told or maybe don’t!

Tidy your room or maybe won’t!

Life’s too short to toe the line

Pour the wine and skip the sign

Be a mess, be grand, be bold

Tell the tales that must be told

World’s a circus, let’s perform

Catch ya later, mate!

Bridge:

Hey there, mate!

“Don’t shout now!” Shout louder!

“Don’t jump there!” Jump prouder!

“Be normal!” Be weird!

“Play safe!” No fear!

Final Chorus:

Hey there, mate!

Do as you’re told or maybe don’t!

Tidy your room or maybe won’t!

Life’s too short to toe the line

Pour the wine and skip the sign

Be a mess, be grand, be bold

Tell the tales that must be told

World’s a circus, let’s perform

Catch ya later, mate!

Hey there, mate!
