Madness - Drip Fed Fred lyrics

We want Freddy for our leader

Freddy is a man of class

We Want Freddy for our leader

all stand and raise your champagne glass

Gentlemen and assasins and ladies of the night

I call upon this evening in the hope of sheddings some light

I can't go into detail or fingure unfounded fools

But there are some here amongst us that are not playing to the rules

I've rounded up the lowlife and local C.I.D

offered a free massage or else the third degree

There is no simple solution in this life we lead

so make things easy for yourself to the baraties concede

We want Freddy for our leader

Freddy is a man of class

We Want Freddy for our leader

all stand and raise your champagne glass

Get your self off the balifs early came the stark warning today

From his hospital bed Drip-Fed Fred vowed he was here to stay

"I'll tell ya sumthin for nothing" he claimed "never in all my days

'ave I felt so intimidated by the cheap tactics on display"

Aah-ah-ah-ah

Aah-ah-ah-ah

We want Freddy for our leader

Freddy is a man of class

We Want Freddy for our leader

all stand and raise your champagne glass

And approaching the pulput the right honourable Reverend Greene

"we are gathered here this evening to pay our due respects"

"to Drip-Fed Fred who late last night fell out his prison bed"

"we know the nonce behind it, who slipped the night P.D - ooh"

"the word is out no without doubt you will answer to me"

Gentlemen and assasins and ladies of the night

i call upon this evening in the hope of shedding new light

There is a simple solution one called honour amonst theived

so we'll take pity on your souls and only cap your knees

Aah-ah-ah-ah

Aah-ah-ah-ah

Aah-ah-ah-ah

Aah-ah-ah-ah

We want Freddy for our leader

Freddy is a man of class

We Want Freddy for our leader

all stand and raise your champagne glass

We want Freddy for our leader

Freddy is a man of class

We Want Freddy for our leader

all stand and raise your champagne glass

We want Freddy for our leader

Freddy is a man of class

We Want Freddy for our leader

all stand and raise your champagne glass
