what a racket! - joe jackson lyrics

living in the city * is dirty and it’s gritty
it’s smoggy and it’s sooty and it stinks
well i don’t really mind it * i take it as i find it
but i don’t care what anybody thinks
and there’s one thing i can’t take
it’s the noise the people make!

all day long they’re banging * and clattering and clanging
and begging for the boss to let them out
you’d think they’d want some quiet * instead they start a riot
and fuss and fight and scr*p and scream and shout
when you’d like a quiet drink
and you can’t hear yourself think

what a din, what a racket
i don’t think i can hack it
i didn’t come here looking for a fight
pass a law, and i’ll back it
pass a bag and let me pack it
i’ll do anything if it’ll bring me sleep at night
now don’t misunderstand me * there’s lovely people ’round me
i like the pub, i like the music hall
i like all kinds of places * it’s just the ugly faces
and voices that can drive me up the wall
when you dine out for a treat
and you can’t hear yourself eat

- joe jackson lyrics
