Lyrics XTC – Frivolous Tonight

Let us talk about some trivial things we like
A bit of this and that
Let’s chew the fat

And pour ourselves a glass of stout

We’re all so frivolous tonight
Tonight

Let’s reveal our childlike nature
And leave our stocks and invoices to rot
Let’s go to pot

Tell our jokes about mothers-in-law
But watch him jump when she comes through the door
Oh, the party goes with a swing
When we talk about the trivial things

We’re all so frivolous tonight

But there’s always one
Who wants to talk shop
We’ll drive him through the door
With a broom or a mop
Mm-mm

Let us tell our favourite story
‘Bout some poor chap who put it on display
Hip-hooray
And let the girls gather in their slacks
To talk about husbands’ hairy backs

Some might think we’re a bit of a shower
But this could be our finest hour

We’re all so frivolous tonight
