Clevor Trever Songtext
von Ian Dury

Just ′cause I ain't never had, no
Nothing worth having, never ever, never ever
You ain′t got no call
Not to think of what I'm falling to
Thinking that I ain't too, clever

And it ain′t not having one thing nor not another either
Neither is it anything, whatever
And it′s not not knowing that there ain't nothing showing
And I answer to the name of Trevor, however

Just ′cause I ain't never said, no
Nothing worth saying, never ever, never, never, ever
Things have got read into what I never said
Till me mouth becomes me head which ain′t not all that, clever


And it's not not saying one thing nor not another either
Neither is it anything I haven′t said, whatever
And it ain't not proving that my mind ain't moving
And I answer to the name of Trevor, however

Knock me down with a feather, clever Trevor
Widebrows wonder whether clever Trevor′s clever
Either have they got, nor neither haven′t not
Got no right to make a clot out of Trevor

Why should I feel bad about something I ain't had
Such stupidness is mad ′cause nothing underfoot
Comes to nothing less to add to a load of old toot
And I ain't half not half glad ′cause there's nowhere to put
It even if I had, I′m a bit of a Jack the Lad

Knock me down with a feather, clever Trevor
Widebrows wonder whether clever Trevor's clever
Either have they got, nor neither haven't not
Got no right to make a clot out of Trevor

Also, it takes much longer to get up North the slow way
