"Dyna-Mite" by Mud

# And the party turned insane

She called out her na-a-a-ame

# And then she walked in

looking like dynamite

# She said, "Now come along

boogaloo through the night"

# And the way she's moving

well Dyna-Mite

# Light you up

with all she's got... #

Want a drink, Skittle?

# ..She's got the whole town

lighting up dynamite

# Nobody quite knowing what to do

wrong or right

# But they all know Dyna is dynamite

# And they're right... #

No! You stop it, Mummy!Why didn't you do something?!

You didn't do anything!

Stop it, Mummy! Stop it!

You could have stopped him

with a milk bottle or something!

Please, Mummy! Stop it, Mummy,

please? Please?

Why didn't you? You killed him!

You killed him! NO! Ssh!

NO! NO!

..NO!

'Never knew why that picture

of a cat was there,

'and the other one. Don't know

what happened to that one.

'I mean...?' What the f***?

Sorry, what did you say? What?

Did you not just say something?

Was I talking to myself?

It gets me a good seat. I've had

no-one sitting next to me for years.

One on one. For f***'s sake.

I mean, for f***'s sake.

Would you turn back?Are you wanting me to turn back?

I'd love you for it. I think

I should get you there first,

don't you?

I can take you back when I've gotI'd rather eat my two

f***ing feet than you get me there.

Jesus, I mean...

Do you want me to call them?

I can call them.

No, you go on. You do your job.

They said to get you there.

And what? And what? Well, I know

you have to get me there,

that's why you're driving me there.

I mean did you say

you wouldn't get me there?

You mean they mean I wouldn't
