I Of Course Replied

Gilbert O'Sullivan · Southpaw [1977]

Hey pretty baby have you heard the news

Somebody stepped upon my blue suede shoes

They said they were sorry

And as you can see

I took it all in my stride

But when they said, is there something we can do

I of course replied



I went to my doctor, just ten other day

I said 'Listen Doc, are you feeling okay?'

I told him to lie down on his couch

And that I would look inside

But when he began to hurl abuse

I of course replied



As you might well have heard

And as from today

Not only have women equal rights

Now they have equal pay



They said run along now

There's a good chap

So I pushed them to one side

And when they said 'Hey,

What's the meaning of this?'

I of course replied
