Lyrics

[Verse 1] Too many Florence Nightingales Not enough Robin Hoods Too many halos, not enough heroes Coming up with the goods [Pre-Chorus 1] So you thought you'd like to change the world Decided to stage a jumble sale For the poor, for the poor... [Pre-Chorus 1] So you thought you'd like to change the world Decided to stage a jumble sale For the poor, for the poor... [Chorus] (Flag day) It's a waste of time, if you know what they mean (Flag day) Try shaking your box in front of the Queen (Flag day) 'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams (Flag day) It's a waste of time, if you know what they mean [Post-Chorus 1] (Flag day) Oh-oh, oh-oh oh (Flag day) Ah ha... (Flag day) Oh oh, oh-oh oh (Flag day) Mmm, ah... [Verse 2] Too many hands in too many pockets Not enough hands on hearts Too many ready to call it a day Before the day starts [Pre-Chorus 2] So you thought you'd like to see them healed Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal For the poor, for the poor... [Pre-Chorus 2] So you thought you'd like to see them healed Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal For the poor, for the poor... [Chorus] (Flag day) It's a waste of time, if you know what they mean (Flag day) Try shaking your box in front of the Queen (Flag day) 'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams (Flag day) It's a waste of time, if you know what they mean [Post-Chorus 2] Flag day Flag day Flag day Flag day Flag day Flag day Flag day Flag day... [Ad lib] Ba ba, da-da da-da Da-da da Da-da da, da-da da-da Da-da da, yeah! [Outro] (Flag day) Da-da da, da-da da da (Flag day) Da-da da, say-ay-ay-ay-ay (Flag day) Ay-ay, yeah-ah (Flag day) Y-yeah, say-ay (Flag day) Yay-ay-ay-ay (Flag day) Y-yeah, ee... (Flag day) E-ee... (Flag day) (Flag day) Ah, woah, ah woah, woah woah (Flag day) Woah, woah (Flag day) Ba, ba, ba, ba-ba (Flag day) Ba, ba-ba ba ba...
