The Divine Comedy - Can You Stand upon One Leg lyrics

Can you stand upon one leg It's harder than you think If you can do it without falling down You can do just about anything Go on, see if you can See how long you can stand on one leg Can you beat your dad at chess It's harder than you think Sit him down at Christmas Turn the TV off Give him lots of chocolates and a drink And he might give you a match And when you've been duly dispatched he will laugh Ha ha ha And you'll say, ‘one more game' Can you write a silly song It's harder than you think One that's not too short One that's not too long One that can make everybody sing Go on, give it a try You might do better than I It's just like trying to stand on one leg Tell me can you tell a funny joke One that makes you laugh out loud One that makes the milk come out your nose If you know a funny joke then tell it now… …that's not bad, I'm impressed But there's one final test Can you hold a singing note for a stupidly long time Well it's my party piece so let's make it a little harder By starting it way up high Come on, give it a go Let's see how long you can hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooold on to a note!
