So I'm screaming this to you 
"waaaaaaagh"
From the last place in the queue 
"waaah, waaah"
I really think you'd like me 
Given half a chance 
But since we ain't got that 
I'll do the Screamers Dance 

Some of us are ugly, angel, 
Some of us are only small 
Some of us are useless, sailor, 
They haven't got the where-with-all 
We went and missed the ending, babe
We never quite caught the bus 
We never speak our minds, my love
We ain't got nothing to discuss 

Some of us are useless, love
It comes from facing up to facts 
It's hard to be a hero, handsome 
When you've had your helmet cracked 
Cheerfulness is catching, sweetie
When the fevers you have got 
We've got a temperature, my dear 
But we simply haven't got the hots 

So I'm screaming this to you 
"waaaaaaagh"
Silly season, skies are blue 
"waah, waah, waah"
I hardly ever think, 
I've made a small advance 
I keep my elbows in and do 
The Screamers Dance 
DANCE!!!

Waw! 
Some of us are stupid, sister 
Some of us are very shy 
Some of us get nervous, chicken 
When you look us in the eye 
We're ever so pathetic, chicky
We know quite well that we try too hard
Some of us were born like this 
While others got it by the yard 

So I'm screaming this to you 
"waaaaaaauugh"
Coz' I haven't got a clue 
"waaarrh"
I really think I'd like you 
Given half the chance 
As we ain't got that 
I'll do the Screamers Dance 
"Waaaaaaagh, waaaaaaagh
Waaaaaaagh, waaaaaaagh
Waaaaaaagh"
