God Gave Us Life

What did God give us, Neil?
God gave us life, Nigel
Sure did

A one two three four
John the Baptist knows the score

God gave us life
God gave us life
God gave us life
God gave us life

So that we could all play
With our mates in the street
With the ball that we bought
From the shop just last week

God gave us life
God gave us life
God gave us life
God gave us life

So that we could take sweets
Off strange men in big cars
And get driven to the woods
To stroke non-existent puppies

But he also gave us Una Stubbs
And he also gave us Little and Large
And he also gave us Keith Harris
And he also gave us Wendy Craig
And he also gave us Thora Hird
And he also gave us Matthew Kelly
And he also gave us Eartha Kitt
And he also gave us Lionel Blair

God gave us life
God gave us life
God gave us life
God gave us life
God gave us life – hallelujah
God gave us life – hallelujah
God gave us life – hallelujah
God gave us life – hallelujah
God gave us life – Pontius Pilate
God gave us life – Bobby Charlton
God gave us life – Gordon Jackson
God gave us life – have a banana

God gave us – life
