Intro : (2x)
When it's pop goes the weasel
Let go of the easel
You don't want
This rickety racket y life
It's seat of the trousers
It's all sink or swim, son
I'd kill to get crimson
On this palette knife
And I'd steal in a minute
I'm up to here in it
You here behaving
As though I'm a sain t
Get a job with a pension
Don't ever mention
You once had a craving
For the brushes and paint
So go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Let it all go
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Let it all go
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Let it all go
(2x)
A hack writer judges
My swipes and my smudges
He doesn't like pictures
With blotches and blots
The drawing room tea set
Wants horses, sunsets
Sweet nothings
The seaside with yachts
Here's the end of the thirties
No time for arties
Over in Poland
A right old to do
So go join the navy
The air force or the army
They'll all be enr olling
Young fellows like you
So go, fo rget it, let it al l go
let it all go
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Let it all g o
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Let it all go
(2x)
These are not my d ecisio ns
Flaming visions
Ringing ex pressions
The clamoring voice
It's vol canic d esire
The un quenchable fire
It isn't a question
Of having the choice
Any way, now I'm old
But if you won't be told
If you've been created
To answer the cal l
All passion and lust
Is going to end in the dust
But you'll hang on some
Government galler y wall
You must go, fo rget it, let it al l go
let it all go
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Let it all g o
Go, fo rget it, let it al l go
Let it all go
