Oh, Astley in the noose He hasn't got a use But he's trying Trying to be someone Trying to take like a man if you can Sing an old song Well, I get back to the rope Wash your mouth out with soap And if you must sing Sing an oldie But sing it quickly Oh spare me Don't beg, don't beg I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me Don't beg, don't beg I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me Oh, Astley, it's the truth My patience's at its roof It's at its ceiling It's just this feeling That given half a choice A life without your voice seems more appealing Don't beg, don't beg I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me Don't beg, don't beg I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me But don't take this to heart It's all to do with art and entertainment I sing this lament But from you and from your peers It's abuse to both me ears I rest my case here Don't beg, don't beg I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me Don't beg, don't beg I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me Don't beg, don't beg I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me Don't beg, don't beg I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me We've known each other for so long Immortalised you in my song I'm never gonna give you up Let you down Spin you round or desire you Never gonna give you up or blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah
