Clever Trevor Songtext
von Ian Dury

Just ′cos I ain't never had no nothing worth having never ever never, ever
You ain′t got no call not to think I wouldn't fall into 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 ′cos 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 stupidiness is mad
′Cos nothing underfoot comes to nothing less to add
To a load of old toot
And I ain't half not half glad ′cos 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
