Written by: Paul Copley & Matt Johnson

lyrics

Doctor Robert was the local freak
Sold magic mushrooms up on Mathew Street
Mr Mustard had a pretty wife
She upped and left him back in sixty-nine

What a knife in the back what a kick in the teeth
What a life he lead it's easy to see

Oh Doctor Robert don't you take it lying down
(In the bathroom on the mushrooms)
Oh Doctor Robert don't you take it lying down
(On the mushrooms in the bathroom)
Cos Doctor Robert you're the man

Old Miss Rigby was a lonely girl
She picked the rice up in her local church
Father McKenzie was her only friend
He was with her till the bitter end

What a knife in the back what a kick in the teeth
What a life she lead it's easy to see

Old Miss Rigby don't you take it lying down
(Don't be lonely the one and only)
Old Miss Rigby don't you take it lying down
(Don't be the only one that's lonely)
Cos Miss Rigby here's the word

In the sky there's diamonds shining brightly

Sgt Pepper lead a marching band
The drummer sang "I Wanna Be Your Man"
Jude and Prudence met on Penny Lane
This bird has flown back down blue jay way

What a knife in the back what a kick in the teeth
What a life they lead it's easy to see

Oh Sgt Pepper don't you take it lying down
(Help with something for the sun king)
Oh Sgt Pepper don't you take it lying down
(A ticket to ride to a day in the life)
Cos Sgt Pepper it's the end
