[Verse 1]
So you think that you have seen her
When you're lying in between her
And you tell me that you don't care
Busy bodies getting nowhere
Everybody's getting meaner
Busy bodies caught in the concertina

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You check her outline, break her regulations
You watch her legs through several service stations

[Chorus]
Busy bodies
Very busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere

[Verse 2]
Now you're ready for the merger
With the company you're part of
And you do the dirty business
With your latest sleeping partner
You're becoming automatic
Busy bodies out playing with the traffic
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You want attention, you try my patience
With the best intentions, you are nothing but a nuisance

[Chorus]
Busy bodies
Very busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere

[Verse 3]
Now you've given your performance
Though the matinee was idle
And you find out that a wave of her right hand
Could seem so tidal
Just a second, satisfaction
Busy bodies temporarily out of action

[Pre-Chorus 3]
You wash and brush up
You want to dress up
You want to kiss her
But she's busy with her makeup
[Chorus]
Busy bodies
Very busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
