Flash Bang Wallop Chords & Lyrics - Tommy Steele

[VERSE 1]
[G]All lined up in a wedding group 'ere we are for a photo[D]graph
We're all dressed up in a morning suit all trying hard not to [G]laugh
Since the [A]early caveman [D]in his fur took a [A]trip to Gretna [D]Green
There's [A]always been a pho[D]tographer to re[A]cord the 'appy [D]scene

[CHORUS]
[G]'Old it flash bang wallop what a picture
[D]What a picture [G]what a photograph
[D]Poor old soul [G]blimey what a joke
[A]Hat blown off in a [D]cloud of smoke
Clap '[G]ands [D]stamp yer feet [G]bangin' on the big bass [D]drum
[G]What a picture [D]what a picture [G]rum tiddly um pum [D]um pum pum
[G]Stick it in your fam'ly [D]al[G]bum

[VERSE 2]
[G]The same thing 'appened long ago when man was in his [D]prime
And what went on we only know from the snaps he took at the [G]time
When [A]Adam and Eve in their [D]birthday suit de[A]cided to get [D]wed
As [A]Adam was about to [D]taste the fruit the [A]man with the cam'ra [D]said

[CHORUS]
[G]'Old it flash bang wallop what a picture
[D]What a picture [G]what a photograph
[D]Poor old Eve [G]there with nothing on
[A]Face all red and 'er [D]fig leaf gone
Clap '[G]ands [D]stamp yer feet [G]bangin' on the big bass [D]drum
[G]What a picture [D]what a picture [G]rum tiddly um pum [D]um pum pum
[G]Stick it in your fam'ly [D]al[G]bum
