about

The Innercity Pirates played this track up and down the UK over the summer of 2008. Sticking in the harts and minds of everyone who came across it the song became a staple of the band's live shows... though it was a speeded up punkey version of the song which echoed though the venues and fields. The song also became a favourite of Steve Lamacq, awarding the song his "Record of the Week" on Radio 1.

lyrics

Oh Cockney Sparra
won’t you kiss my dusty bin lid
I know your quite far away now
but can't you just stretch your lips

Oh Cockney Sparra
won’t you rest upon my dusty bin lid
My mother says I'm a big boy now
but you make me feel like a kid

Do doo do doo doo
Do doo doo do doo
When you gonna fly my way  X2

Do doo do doo doo
Do doo doo do doo  X2

Oh cockney sparra
won’t you please stop being paranoid
I know I'm not a man but I'm still your boy

Do doo do doo doo
Do doo doo do doo
When you gonna fly my way  X2

Do doo do doo doo
Do doo doo do doo  X2

Oh and the feeling
I had in my heart
now its gone away X2

Oh and the feeling
I had in my heart
oh and the feeling I had
is gone

Do doo do doo doo
Do doo doo do doo
when you gonna fly my way  X2

Do doo do doo doo
Do doo doo do doo  X2
Do doo do doo doo
Do doo doo do doo
When you gonna fly my way  X2

Do doo do doo doo
Do doo doo do doo  X2

Oh cockney sparra
won’t you kiss my dusty bin lid
