Lyrics

It’s no use knocking on my door
I won’t be answering any more
So don’t come round here like you did before
I’m moving out, no doubt about it

Take the video
Take the stereo
Take the dog and the cat and the Bonio
Take the TV and the rug and the radio
I packed my bags
Come on, let’s go

Take the bicycle that’s in the hall
Take the pictures and the ducks off the wall
This is it, don’t let the teardrops fall
I’m moving out today

Take the video
Take the stereo
Take the dog and the cat and the Bonio
Take the TV and the rug and the radio
I packed my bags
Come on, let’s go

This song was only ever used as the theme tune for the 1994 British TV comedy series ‘Moving Story’. As such we have only ever heard two verses – the opening and closing credits! It’s a witty ‘pack up and get out’ saga in keeping with the programme’s theme of the lives of removal men.
