i've come for my award - the beautiful south
this is the awards for industry and free enterprise
so let me sit you down and tell you how i won first prize
i took on your free enterprise and your pretty little shops
walked in with empty bags and walked out with the lot

chorus:
so i've come for my award, i've come for my award
i thought i'd come in person that's the least i can afford
let hands be shook
champagne poured
sentence ignored
yes. i've come for my award

this is the awards for industry and free enterprise
anyone want a gold watch in a ladies' size?
there's a few more round the back
i stole them from your shop
we've got no more in silver, that's all that you'd got

chorus

i chatted with your guards and winked at roving eye
a thousand hidden cameras were searching cross the sky
but they didn't see me pinch them from underneath their eyes

chorus:
jesus was my greatest accomplice
jesus was my greatest accomplice
jesus was my greatest accomplice
yes, i've come for my award

hairdrier, overcoat, telly, dot-to-dot
video, compact disc, there's nothing we forgot
whilst i was busy smiling my father got the lot
i've come for my award
