Beginners 101 Songtext
von Madness

And so it came
Not like any other game
Don′t stand too close to the flame
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Took the money and gone
A flight to cologne or maybe Bon
A suit made from Mohair
A little flair
Some brill creamed hair, yeah

Up over the roof
A rope, a jimmy something waterproof
Where eagles dare
A self-proclaimed millionaire
Under a silvery moon
We couldn't finish the job too soon
A nod, a wink and uncomfortable glance
The man from the special branch
(Hello, son)


I should have known (I should have known)
Something wasn′t right
It's beginners 101
Into the night
Before the daylight
We was having fun (having fun)
A little hit-and-run
One for all and all for one
And finish what we begun

Was it all a charade
A mistake to have stayed
Ain't them bars of gold
A sight to behold
A panama so bold

I should have known (I should have known)
Something wasn′t right
It′s beginners 101
Into the night
Before the daylight

We should have guessed (we should have guessed)
Did it pass the idiot test
It's beginners 101
Just a burner phone
This bird has flown
