Eyes sparkle in the red-light globe, trouser pockets, he's ready to go Calm down, Mr. Apples, you're gonna do yourself in, tell us where you've been Calm down, Mr. Apples, you're gonna wear yourself out, and what's it all about? What's it all about? What's it all about? You're gonna wear yourself out You're gonna wear yourself out
