in full :
We are the 8 0 1
We are the central shaft - And we are
here to let you take advantage
Of our lack of craft
Certain streets have certain corners
Sooner or later, we ll turn yours
We are the 8 0 1
We are the central shaft - And thus through-
-out two years we ve crossed the ocean
in our little craft (Row! Row! Row!)
Now we re on the telephone
Making final arrangements (Ding! Ding!)
We are the 8 0 1
We are the central shaft
Looking for a certain ratio
Someone must have left it underneath the carpet
Looking up and down the radio
Oh-oh, nothing there this time
Looking for a certain ratio
Someone said they saw it parking in a car-lot
Looking up and down the radio
Oh-oh, nothing there this time
Going back down to the radio
Oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - here we go!

Either keep that up for the last part, or switch to chords.
I like , , , when alone, or , , , if there is bass.

We are the table, the captain s table
Let s get it understood, let s get it understood
We are the losers, we are the bruisers
Let s get it understood, let s get it understood
We are the diners, the final diners
Let s get it understood, let s get it understood
Most of us tinkers, some of us tailors,
And we ve got candlesticks, and lots of tail sticks
We saw the lovers, the modern lovers
And they looked very good, they looked as if they could
We are the neighbours, the nosy neighbours
We think just like we would, we think just like we should.
