[Intro - two dry wooden knocks, beat enters, low close rap] Tung Tung Sahur Check the small print [Verse 1 - conversational rhythmic rap, relaxed behind the beat] Pressed my best bark for the balcony booking Cappuccina checked the guest list and overlooked me Silk slippers slipping past the service entrance Left my name in pencil underneath refreshments Ballerina billed the break-up as a solo Sent a little heart beneath a cropped-out photo I kept the coat-check ticket and the correspondence Now the bass makes dents in your polite applause [Chorus - short rhythmic chant, sparse crew response] Tung Tung bring the splinters to the session Teaspoons tremble at the percussion No smashed china just a change of billing Six Seven with the back row grinning [Instrumental break - original scratches, wooden knocks, bass] [Verse 2 - dry comic punchlines, clear consonants] Bought no billboard booked the basement under yours Queue curls round the corner past the velvet cord Your promoter wants a favour and a photo Tell him crop me out again and sell it solo Porcelain composure with a hairline fracture Now the coat-check guest is the main attraction Keep the bitter coffee and the velvet seating I've got kitchen spoons conducting your retreat [Chorus - exact refrain, slightly fuller crew response] Tung Tung bring the splinters to the session Teaspoons tremble at the percussion No smashed china just a change of billing Six Seven with the back row grinning [Outro - beat cuts to bass and two wooden knocks] Keep the jacket I changed the billing
