- From the 1974 10cc album "Sheet Music".
Lyrics: Hey toots, you put the life into living
You brought a sigh into sight
Ah hon, you make my legs turn to water
You bring the stars out at night
But they ain't half so bright
As your eyes
Gee whiz, you take the beauty out of beautiful
You play the strings of my heart
Oh babe, you take the wonder out of wonderful
Oh my, oh my, and my, if you were mine
The rain would turn to sweet sweet wine
Well he's been up all night
Breakin' his head in two to write
A little sonnet for his chickadee
But between you and me
I think its sssssssssssilly. Silly
Ooh treas, you got a smile like a Rembrandt
Aha, you got the style of a queen
Oh dear, you are the petal of a rosebud
Next to you all the others could be weeds
You're the only one my garden needs
Ooh, you know the art of conversation
Must be dying
Ooh, when a romance depends on
Cliches and toupees and threepes
We're up to here with moonin' and junin'
If you want to sound sincere -
Don't rely on Crosby's croonin' -
Take a little time
Make up your own rhyme
Don't rely on mine
'Cos it's sssssssssilly - silly - silly - silly
Freddie Mercury loved these guys and it shows in many of Queen's songs.
You're right Queen did sound similar to 10cc
Benny and Bjorn from Abba loved them.
This band "ploughed their own furrow" very avant garde in their day, choosing innovation over chart success which they did as well. always thought 10cc was one of the best bands ever to come out of the UK
I don't why people post silly comments like "They were the worst band in the world"....He obviously isn't or wasn't a musician.They are all talented musicians to this day. One of the best innovative and melodious bands that the UK ever produced..
Worst Band In the World was one of their songs.
They're like the blind art critics.
As another guy on here says: 'The Worst Band In The World' was a song of theirs. If that phrase is associated with 10cc, that is the reason.
its kinda like Primus popularizing the phrase "Primus sucks" which was a way to vet out hardcore fans. kinda like "if you're in the know, you know this is meant to be positive"
You know they might be Referring to their song the worst band in the world
Keep returning to 10cc - such groundbreakers.
And I never ever wanna be alone at the bar 🥃
10CC: brilliant lyrics, humor, great music, perfect team of musicians, great album. I was too young to fully understand at the time it was released but it is one of my favourites.
This album was released 10 years before my conception. I think these guys were in a class of their own.
Fantastically original and dynamically creative.
They could only be 10cc
Good summation. I think it also was quite unique how the 10CC musicians did not - as did ALL other stars of the 70s - try to become the focus themselves, they were happy to let the music be the focus.
At the time we just were not able to accept such a more mature projection of music.
O.K.
@@Dazzwidd tru dat
I agree with everything here except for your spelling of "humour", lol... What a great band. I grew up with them, always loved the way they sounded, but it wasn't until I became more "aware" that I realised just how great just about every song is. So clever, so "tongue in cheek" so often. And, tbh, once I got to know a bit of music theory, I flipped out.
On another level, though, they made some of my favourite singles ever. I bought lots of vinyl singles. I lashed out on "Deceptive Bends", the album, and never regretted it, even though money was tight in those teenage days .
One of my very favourite "greatest hits" albums is 10CC. THAT'S when you realise how brilliant they were. Ok, nuff said
i love this one.....it's ssssillly.......
Brilliantly silly!
A delightfully twisted song! The original 10cc was truly one of a kind. May never see another group with that type of unique chemistry again.😞
So under appreciated so talented
It's difficult picking the best from what are all brilliant albums, but they experimented so much that it's almost like oranges and apples. Sheet Music just has the edge - lyrically alone, every single song is a masterpiece. (I recall Godley and Creme interviewed years ago & saying Somewhere In Hollywood was their favourite of ones they wrote). Got them all on vinyl too will never part from them. First band I got seriously into and still love playing their music.
there was something always special about the particular line up that produced sheet music
The lyrics on this record are the best you will possibly ever listen to.
Even When 10cc Injected More Than A Degree Of Frivolity Into Their lyrics They Were " Never Silly " !!! From Adrian Browne 1965
Love!

Brilliant!! Awesome band and awesome album👍
I had this on 33 in 1978. I agree...best work of theirs.
10cc. Sheet Music. Original Soundtrack. How Dare you! 4 gems
Gems of excellence :)
Tremendous production on this. The hours spent are evident !!
this rocks with the best of them.loved 10cc
It's almost definitely my favorite 10cc song :)
Tis a tie with Mandy!
Wish I was back in the 70 s with my beloved mk 2 cortina happy days ✈
Still one of my favourite albums ......
Memorable. Actually unforgettable, as it goes!
Bought sheet music album back in the day and still enjoy it today
10CC A Great Band! And this is this is from the Album that got it going for me listening to them on the only station played them at the time, the mighty CHUM FM Toronto, that whole album is awesome....
"The Dean & I" was one of the first songs I taped from the radio when it was released, I heard the other bits through the years & bought "under your thumb" single. I never knew about all the other great album tracks. Still think "An Englishman in New York" Is one of their best, & what a weird video too.
Definitely inspired by the mechanoid band in the Dr. Phibes film!
An underrated, brilliant song
Desert Island record for me. Cut my eye teeth on it. Tremendous.
Glad to have all the 33's of 10cc they have made,NOT FOR SALE!!!!
My first year of college 1975, awesome!!!! great album, listen to Hotel!!!
10cc never needed a front man the took turns as they all sang
The mark of a good band.
Four solid song writers.
This would be fresh and inventive if it came out today. These guys were too advanced.
Real Art Rock n Glam Rock! I was five years old at the time! Starting Infant 1 Reception Class! I couldnt wait till half past three so that i can be right next to mums record player!
that dirty laugh half way through the song, brilliant
2024 - yeah, seems the Art of Conversation HAS died, she said, tippy tapping words on her I-phone!
Great songwriters, one and all; they were a fundamental during 1970’s onwards.

Had this as an earworm after reading a Bill Oddie interview where he'd mentioned going to the Scilly Isles on a birdwatching assignment.
@turboslag. Agree! The whole album was taken as a model for the at the time very active political music movement in Sweden. The ability of these guys to write good political texts (Oh Effendi, Wall Street Shuffle to name but 2)and compose wonderful music was envied!
Never thought Geddy Lee could sing this good
LOL!!!! I just about fell off the couch reading that!
Great 70s band I have a few of their albums.
Should get more air play on radio stations
Some people call it Sheet Music, but I quite like it.
Eric Stewart has a voice from GOD
I have trouble deciding between 'Sheet music' and 'How dare you' But i would imagine that over the years i have probably listened to 'Sheet music' more than 'How dare you'...not by much tho. It's like, i love what i am listening to at the time and it's really hard to compare. Which i suppose is what makes them as brilliant as they are. One thing is for sure....Utterly superb !!. :-)
Finally found this! Always thought it was T-Rex
T.Rex????
NICE!!!
Don't ever f..k with the best band ever....
I think The Stranglers must have heard this.
Great album. well produced, well written, well sung and played--and funny without being stupid. Its an album that gets about-- poking fun at terrorists; sending up pop itself, and generally reflecting a pretty selfish society in a concise ironic way. In my view, 10cc became too self indulgent after Sheet music. There were occasional gems, but more and more clunky attempts at humour. Pity. But that's pop music folks.
I'd broadly agree with that statement!
Still performed live today. Highly recommended!
A greatly under-rated song (in my opinion....but that jusy may be "Silly"
sssssilly love.....
WONDERFUL LYRIX
Is this where Paul McCartney got the idea for the title "Silly Love Songs"?
Love is... silly.
Weezer!!!!!! Please cover this and make it come back to life!!! Both bands would benefit!!!
Please don't

Sssssuper!
For me it's a tie with The Original Soundtrack.
proto-Queen.
they were the best band in the world . but then again the eagles wanna make me throw up
All members born in Manchester...all songs made in Stockport!
Between you and me i think its Trace who's got the Rembrandt smile :)
'and my ohh my if she was mine the wine would turn to sweet sweet rain'
in playlist: 10cc ~ Sheet Music ~ Full Album ~ 40th Anniversary
Hey tres, you got a smile like a rembrandt, oh hon you got a style like a queen...
I think that's what I heard anyway :)
+Dazzwidd - Ohh Trace you got a smile like a Rembrandt, aha you got the style of a Queen... I know the lyric sheet agree's with you but it's clearly Trace(y) Tres would have a 'ee' sound that's just not there whereas Trace has the A and C sounded clearly although it could be Tres if pronounced as Trace or 'Trays' aa (Teresa) maybe she was a waitress? who knows? its not important it's a great album, over 10,000 views on the playlist! I'm even getting the hang of the Sacro-Iliac.
+bluedivide1 It's "treas" -- it's short for "treasure."
+7uh - ''ohh Picasso you take the Treas out of treasure, you take the ears off the sides and put them on the front and when you did you made every other artist look like a ....'' - anyway one thing I will say is this track is not as good as the Dean & I
Reminds me of Monsters In The Parasol, by Queens of the Stone Age.
Une perle like sharona
I wonder if this song would ever have been written if Graham Chapman hadn't created the character of the Colonel who interrupted Monty Python sketches saying "No, I'm sorry... This is all getting too silly".
Have a signed copy of this, never played, to sell. House move has forced me to to lose a shed load of vinyl! Anyone interested?
did you sell it?
Listen to the beginning of Pat Benatar "Heartbreaker" and tell me that the riff at the beginning aren't similar.
Every bit as original as Queen were at the time but lacked a charismatic front man like Freddie Mercury.
why do people keep comparing 10cc to queen they were completely different
okay bohemian rhapsody was a rip off of une nuit in Paris but radio ga ga is a far superior tune
That was one thing that 10cc did lack, but with the band having a trainload of musical talent at their disposal. They more than made up for it.
Why have one front man when you can have four ?
@TrentH190 There are piles of ancient epic stuff waiting to be copied en edited by teh newbies :-))
There is a new/updated 10cc biography called 'Worst Band in the World' available imminently: 10ccbook.com
100pppppp
The intro sounds like the Sex Pistols song "Lonely Boy"
FOR CINDY COOLEY
any relation to marty
Protopunk
It was a mistake to release the worst band in the world as a single, but the albumn?..... brilliant!!
TOTALLY agree with you!! One of 2 mistakes they made. The other was releasing "Johnny Don't Do It" as a single from the debut album.
They were the worst band in the world...
but they don't give a …….
It's a joke to call them the worst band in the world as they were so dynamically creative as well as so original. They were just being silly in a self effacing kinda way :)
Dazzwidd Uh, he was telling a joke, man. There's a song in the album called "The Worst Band in the World". It's a joke.

Exactly my point.
Someone else made a similar post to a different 10cc song and I also finished that's lyric for him - hoping he 'got' it.
