Text: Gilbert O'Sullivan. If You Commence Before The Start.

If you commence before the start
Where do you begin
If you commence before the start
Where do you begin
If you take off your shoes and socks
Throw them up in the air
What do you think
Your mother would think
Will she go spare

If you commence before the start
Where do you begin
If you commence before the start
Where do you begin
If you go out without a tie
Nothing under your dress
What do you think
The neigbours would think
In their Sunday best

If you commence before the start
Where do you begin
If you commence before the start
Where do you begin
If you come the bathroom door
Not having washed your hands
What do you think
Your father would think
Would he change his plans

If you commence before the start
Where do you begin
