Lyrics

Geoffrey Ingram

[Verse 1]

Geoffrey's got a nice new suit, he bought it yesterday

Ten pounds in an Oxfam shop near Hammersmith Broadway

All the kids admire him, Geoffrey is the face

Geoffrey is that kind of guy

Who always gets away with that sort of thing

[Verse 2]

Geoffrey shops at Safeways, it's got everything he wants

He fills up his pockets with baked beans and blancmange

And all the girls on the tills smile at Geoffrey

He's the kind of guy

Who gets away with that sort of thing

[Chorus]

Just like Geoffrey Ingram (Geoffrey Ingram)

Just like Geoffrey Ingram (Geoffrey Ingram)

Just like Geoffrey Ingram

Geoffrey always gets home as it starts to rain

[Verse 3]

Me and Geoff got to a Jam and we got there too late

The Marquee was sold out and it was only five past eight

But Geoffrey got us on the guest list, please don't ask me how

Geoffrey is the kind of guy

Who always gets away with that sort of thing

Geoffrey gets away with that sort of thing

[Chorus]

Just like Geoffrey Ingram (Geoffrey Ingram)

Just like Geoffrey Ingram (Geoffrey Ingram)

Just like Geoffrey Ingram (Geoffrey Ingram)

Just like Geoffrey Ingram (Geoffrey Ingram)

Just like Geoffrey Ingram (Geoffrey Ingram)

Just like Geoffrey Ingram (Geoffrey Ingram)

Just like Geoffrey Ingram
