There Ain't No Sanity Clause

About There Ain't No Sanity Clause

"There Ain't No Sanity Clause" was a single by the Damned, released in November 1980. The song was a tongue-in-cheek rock song released with an eye on the lucrative UK Christmas singles market, but failed to chart. The single was the last new material to be released by the band on Chiswick Records. However, Chiswick would continue to reissue singles by the Damned, culled from existing material on their Big Beat imprint, including "Wait for the Blackout", "Lively Arts", reissues of "Love Song" and "Smash It Up", and a remixed version of "There Ain't No Sanity Clause" with new lyrics, which reached No. 97 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1983. The title and chorus of the song were derived from a scene in the Marx Brothers' 1935 movie A Night at the Opera, in which Groucho Marx attempts to explain the intricacies of a business contract to Chico Marx. When Groucho mentions the "sanity clause", Chico responds, "You can't fool me. There ain't no santy clause!" "There Ain't No Sanity Clause" was written with Giovanni Dadamo of the Snivelling Shits, who also recorded a version of the song which was included on CD reissues of their I Can't Come album. more »

Happy Talkin Captains' tutu's too tight
Means there'll be no more snookering you tonight
P just looks bemused to be on foreign Shores -
AH HA There ain't no Sanity Clause [x4]
[Chorus]

Vanians got a visit from a guy named Drac
Says he's from the bloodbank wants his 10 pints back
Singers rather sickly when it rains it pours -
Oh no, there ain't no Sanity Clause [x4]
[Chorus]

Did you expect that I would believe
The tale you told last Xmas eve
About the man that man is fat and round
Delivers gifts without a sound

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Monty Oxy Moron's Mozart on natural gas
Always playing symphonies out of his ass
Pinch's about to get tied up with Las Vegas laws,
Oh No, there ain't no Sanity Clause

Ho Ho Ho etc
