     Bb                                                                         F  
My people rang me up a couple of weeks ago
                                        Bb                                                                 F                                                            C  
Yeah, I?ve got people  and a phone  and a grasp on the passage of time
                          Bb                                         C                                 Dm         C                         Dm  
Yeah they rang me up, said ?Tim, will you go on Ruth Jones show
             C                                                                                      Bb                         F  
They want you to sing a song, it?ll be fine, fine, fine?
                     Bb                                                                         F  
But the problem with my particular ?uvre,
                     Bb                                                                                            F  
Is that half my songs are five minutes and over.
                     C  
And the wisdom here at the BBC,
                     C  
Is that viewers switch off if you go past three,
                Bb                                                                                    F  
And a lot of my songs have a bit of bad language,
                Bb                                                              F  
Which causes the viewers untold anguish,
                                        C                                                                      Dm  
It seems their tolerance for smuttiness is reserved,
          Bb                                 C                                 F  
For pussy puns on ?Are You Being Served??.
                        F  
And so I need a song that only goes for three minutes,
          C  
Without no bums or blasphemy in it,
     Dm                                                                                                                         Bb                                      C                              F  
A lovely little song specifically written for the delicate skin of middle-class Britain.
     F  
I need a song with a chorus and a verse,
             C  
With no nasty-ass cussin? and a-cursin?,
                          Dm  
And I?m a little too lewd and a little too long,
                             Bb                              C                              F  
I?ve gotta find myself a three-minute song.
                                          Bb                                                                              F  
And they said, ?Remember boy that music is like love-making
                                                  C                                                                            Dm  
it?s simply self-indulgent to take it past three minutes.
        Bb                                                                      F  
Remember boy that music is like love-making,
                                                C  
Everybody loves a pianist, but length must have a limit?
                  F  
So you need a song that only goes for three minutes,
          C  
Without no pornography or politics in it,
                        Dm  
You?re a little verbose and a little bit wrong,
                                  Bb                                                                         C                              F  
You?ve gotta find yourself a clean, limit, three-minute song?.
F  
Three-hundred beats at a hundred beats-per-minute,
             C  
With nice clean jokes and a hoedown in it,
Dm  
Something for the telly that never, ever fails,
        Bb                                                      C      F  
To appease the viewers of BBC Wales.
                                          Dm                                         Bb                    F  
And even in the bridge I won?t be lyrically adventurous,
             Bb                         F                                      C  
intellectually unmention-ous, or racially contentious,
                Dm                                                                                      Bb                                 F  
And I won?t make double entendres at the expense of the Chinese,
          C                                                                      C7  
For China is a country that can bring me to my knees.
Bb                                                    F  
For China, For China, Vagina, Vagina,
     C                                                                      C7  
Vagina is a cunt-ry that will bring us to our knees.
N.C.
     F  
I need a little happy-clappy country song,
C  
Nice and repetitive and not too long,
Dm  
Boring enough, but not too boring,
                  Bb                                            C                         D  
With a key change here to prevent me snoring.
     G  
I need a song that is only three minutes,
        D  
Without no buggery or blasphemy in it,
Em  
Something with a pleasing rhyme and rhythm,
                C                                                                    D  
Well, if you can?t beat ?em, get conservative with ?em.
G-  D-  Em-  C  D  
                        G  
Oh-oh, I need a song that causes no offense,
        D  
To flog more tickets to my concerts,
                  Em  
By convincing the viewer that musical satire,
C  
Hasn't progressed since Victor Borge,
Em                                                      C  
You've got a telly and I want to be in it,
                D                                                                                              G  
But apparently you?ll only watch for three minutes.
                C                                                         D                                      G  
Yeah, apparently you?ll only watch for three?
