[Verse 1]
What was I thinking? What was I thinking?
What was I thinking? What could I have been thinking?
It's going one time (one time)
It's going two times (two times)
Sold to the gent who wears the stunned expression

[Pre-Chorus 1]
As I took it off their hands
A five pound note was changing hands
As I took it off their hands
I had plans, I had plans

[Chorus]
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing?
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing?

[Verse 2]
All this power, all this glory
All these DJs and all these lorries
What was I thinking? What was I thinking?
What was I thinking? What could I have been thinking?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hey Rupert Murdoch, help me out
I'm flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to lay things out
For the refined and unrefined
[Chorus]
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing?
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing?

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Hey Ted Turner, help me out
I'm flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to work things out
To colorize and still feel fine

[Chorus]
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing?
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing?

[Bridge]
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will

[Verse 3]
Should we go brighter, should we go lighter
Should we go whiter, go left or righter
What was I thinking? What was I thinking?
I wasn't drinking, what could I have been thinking?
[Chorus]
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing?
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing?

[Bridge]
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will

[Chorus]
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing?
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing?
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing?
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing?
