"Mars Bars" lyrics - THE UNDERTONES

I need a Mars Bar
Hey raid the Spar
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar
I've had ten so far
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play

I never eat my dinner
I push away the plate
You can see I'm getting thinner
Because I just can't wait

To get my Mars Bar
Hey raid the Spar
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar
I've had ten so far
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play

To Patrick Moore and David Bowie
And all the other stars
There's evidence here to show you
That there's life on Mars

I need a Mars Bar
Hey raid the Spar
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar
I've had ten so far
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play

There's glucose for energy
Caramel for strength
The chocolate's only there
To keep it the right length

I need a Mars Bar
Hey raid the Spar
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar
I've had ten so far
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play

To anybody out there who still eats Twix
Or Bounty, or packets of Buttons
I gave them up when I was six
I hope your teeth are rotten

I need a Mars Bar
Hey raid the Spar
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar
I've had ten so far
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play
It helps me, makes me
Work, rest and play

Work, rest and play!
