The Beta Band Rap

We're the Beta Band and we're nice and clean We're always polite and hardly ever mean Times have changed, we used to be smelly We lived in a squat 'til a punk nicked our telly Since we've been signed we eat real good We always wash our hands and chew our food Quashis rotis are our favorite dish Served spicy with chicken or fish In the world of fashion there's two shining lights Nancy and Caroline they helped us alright And Gordon Anderson played a big part Just when the Beta Band was about to start It all started in London town When we gave our demo to Phil Brown Then we met Miles at Parlophone And let him hear dogs got a bone He said go to Falkner and put it on wax So the next week was spent cutting four tracks Now a manager was needed to make us complete Miles knew a Wigner we should meet [Incomprehensible] His name was Dave with the broken specs A quiet manner and enough respect We met at Nachos and cleaned the plate A meal like that we'd never ate Then we met Brian and the Microdot crew Martin, Matt and John Plat too Adrenalin Village was the place to be We had no money so they got us in free The first thing Dave did as boss Was make us play Water Rats in Kings Cross We played five songs got credit for four Went down well so we decided to tour Next up was Henry and Nich Making the show go without a hitch Up and down the country and side to side With big yin driving it's a bumpy ride Miles gave us an album deal We said yes and went for a meal Drinking champagne at EMI The irony almost made us cry
