Vote for the dutchess in her black limousine
Vote for the butcher and his slicing machine
Vote for the magic paper man
On a cloudy day I`m sitting on the roof
Vote for the sunshine watch that`s waterproof
Vote for the mailbox with the red painting on
Vote for the trailfox at the moment it`s gone
Vote for the 18th Century rhythm-bag man
Rhythm-bag man
Bagman
Vote for the hogshead that you crawl through at night
Vote for your dog`s bed and the stars that shine bright
Vote for the writer of the books
that you`ll read tomorrow lying on the floor
Vote for the ready, steady, go ashore
Vote for the eyebrow that you have in your mind
Vote for goodbye now when you`re acting this kind
Vote for the 18th Century rhythm-bag man
Bagman, yeah
Vote for the focus that you see in your glass
Vote for to stoke us and the people that pass
Vote for the tissue-paper clouds that fly in the sky
when you are coming by
Vote for the knicker-bockers in my tie
Vote for the 18th Century rhythm-bag man
18th Century rhythm-bag man
