Lyrics

Donkey

Hold on, hold on
More rock 'n' roll, what a con
Silly little leopard skins on
Let Paul sing his songs, songs, no

Hold on, hold on
The dead streets' forth night song
To the sound of the spit from my tongue
And the ballroom blitz went wrong

Revolution
Revolt BPM
Revolt
And then, no

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on
White collar bollock sing along
Champagne road got a stone
The seaside donkeys don't run, no

Hold on, hold on
The dead streets' forth night song
To the sound of the spit from my tongue
And the ballroom blitz went wrong

Revolution
Revolt BPM
Revolt
And then, no

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Donkey
Revolt BPM
Donkey
Revolt BPM
Donkey
Revolt BPM
Donkey
Revolt BPM, BPM
