Chumbawamba – On EBay lyrics
(Scatting ending with the word "E-bay")
Mr Kakoshka(?) it just happened again.
(Sad So Sad)
They struck the museum like a hurricane.
(Sad So Sad)
Haul them on a coach and its dead and its gone.
(Sad So Sad)
From Babylon baby back to Babylon.
(Sad So Sad)
There's stuff you find along the way,
And stuff you leave behind.
And it all ends up as stuff that you can buy
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
(Scatting resumes)
In all Baghdad there dusting off the antiques
(Sad So Sad)
Its the 14th Gurnika weve had this week
(Sad So Sad)
I got $25 for a Persian Vase
(Sad So Sad)
Hold the critique I think I'm going large
(Sad So Sad)
That stuff inside your houses,
And that stuff behind your eyes.
Well it all ends up as stuff that you can buy
On ebay. (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
(Scatting resumes)
They're building a tower out of wrappers and cans.
(Sad So Sad)
Now we're speaking a language that we all understand.
(Sad So Sad)
T-T-T-T-T-T-Tongue tied and starry eyed.
(Sad So Sad)
Its the ancient history of old school times.
(Sad So Sad)
Theres stuff dressed up as truth,
And then theres stuff dressed up as lies,
And it all ends up as stuff that you can buy
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
(Repeat To Fade)
Mr Kakoshka(?) it just happened again.
(Sad So Sad)
They struck the museum like a hurricane.
(Sad So Sad)
Haul them on a coach and its dead and its gone.
(Sad So Sad)
From Babylon baby back to Babylon.
(Sad So Sad)
There's stuff you find along the way,
And stuff you leave behind.
And it all ends up as stuff that you can buy
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
(Scatting resumes)
In all Baghdad there dusting off the antiques
(Sad So Sad)
Its the 14th Gurnika weve had this week
(Sad So Sad)
I got $25 for a Persian Vase
(Sad So Sad)
Hold the critique I think I'm going large
(Sad So Sad)
That stuff inside your houses,
And that stuff behind your eyes.
Well it all ends up as stuff that you can buy
On ebay. (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
(Scatting resumes)
They're building a tower out of wrappers and cans.
(Sad So Sad)
Now we're speaking a language that we all understand.
(Sad So Sad)
T-T-T-T-T-T-Tongue tied and starry eyed.
(Sad So Sad)

(Sad So Sad)
Theres stuff dressed up as truth,
And then theres stuff dressed up as lies,
And it all ends up as stuff that you can buy
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
On ebay (Ooooooooooooooooooooo)
From Babylon back to Babylon
(Repeat To Fade)
