Drama on a Saturday Night Lyrics

Drama on a Saturday Night

Innes Book of Records Bella was a beauty queen
One of a kind
She couldn't get ambition off her mind
She entered every contest
from Redcar to Penzance
She entered anywhere she stood a chance
Then one day, way down yonder
In Shanklin, Isle of Wight,
She became a big name overnight

She was placed above the rest
The winners sash across her breast
She wept with joy, she kissed the crown
She was the toast of her home town
Innes Book of Records (ahhh AH!)

Drama on a Saturday night
A story of human emotion
Love is as shallow as people
And as deep as the ocean

She posed for Sunday papers
wearing nothing but a smile (oo-la la!)
She took 'em off while putting on the style
She soon became the sweetheart
of a playboy millionaire
Who bought her clothes and took her everywhere
Innes Book of Records They were married in Las Vegas
She said solemnly "I do"
amidst t.v.cameras and Yankee ballyhoo
Bella frequented the nightclub scene
as befits an ex-beauty queen
She took to drink while her playboy played
And so it was their love decayedNeil Innes - Drama on a Saturday Night - http://motolyrics.com/neil-innes/drama-on-a-saturday-night-lyrics.html

Drama on a Saturday night
A story of human emotion
Love is as shallow as people
And as deep as the ocean

Bella got a gun
Bella shot him dead (Bella shot him dead!)

"He died instantly" the coroner said
Same song from Rutland Weekend televisionAnd so behind dark glasses
Bella hid her eyes
It's unsightly when a woman cries
Just who was to blame
the press would soon find out
But as it was, the jury had no doubt

The verdict was guilty
The judge had no choice
He said "You get life"
in a serious voice
But Bella just laughed
and tearfully said,
"Oh what a joke,
I've always been dead!"
(aahh aahhhhhhh)

Drama on a Saturday night
A story of human emotion
Love is as shallow as people
And as deep as the ocean

Drama on a Saturday night
A story of human emotion
Love is as shallow as people
And as deep as the ocean
