Crystal Balls
Composer(s): Neil Innes
Performer(s): Neil Innes



I got m'hand up the skirt of Mother Nature 
I got m'foot in the door of liberty 
I got m'head stuck in the railings of reason 
Thank God for the banjo on m'knee 

Crystal balls (balls!) 
To fortune tellers 
Reveal a swarm 
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom)
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (Bong - Cuckoo!) 
We got time on our hands and destinies 

I've heard the squeal of tyres around a corner 
I've broken down and I've been towed 
I've seen everything I ever hoped and dreamed for 
Squashed like a hedgehog in the road 

Crystal balls (balls!) 
To fortune tellers 
Reveal a swarm 
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom) 
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (Bong Cuckoo!) 
We got time on our hands and destinies 

Just give me wide open spaces and clean living 
As long as I've a banjo to pluck 
I'll sing to the cactus and coyotes 
Hippity-hi, hippity-ho, que serarrr! 

Crystal balls (balls!) 
To fortune tellers 
Reveal a swarm 
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom)
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (Bong - Cuckoo!) 
We got time on our hands and destinies 

(bum bum bum bum)
