LYRICS:
Walked into a pub, you were looking at me
So I looked straight back thinking ‘could it be?’
And that’s when you winked at me with both eyes at the same time
Oh wait, that’s a blink
So I smiled in a bashful manner
But you didn’t smile back, shit, what’s the matter?
Then I realised. I’m out of zone 5, I’m in Kent
Now I’m asking myself...

Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Could you be my big spoon or are you just a bigot in Wetherspoon?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?

So I left the pub, I got more eyes on me
Of course, what was I thinking, I’m in Canterbury
I get into my car, now I’m driving fast
Then I notice I’m lost, I don’t know these parts

So I roll down my window, ask a random guy
For directions, and he says ’alright?’
He says he’s Gemini and his name is Warren
I said I got a name too, we’ve got so much in common

Yeah, we’re really hitting it off
Until he says ‘yeah, er, go back where you came from’
And I’m like ‘fuck you, you racist piece of shit’
He he’s like ‘no mate, I was just telling you to do a u-turn’

You were actually checking me out, turns out you’re not a racist
Sorry for projecting onto you, the other guy who was racist
You weren’t tryna hurt me, you were proper horny
You were checking me out, turns out you’re not a racist

Now I’m in Dagenham, here we go again
Guy at the bus stop and he’s staring
Probably not flirting, he’s with his girlfriend
Probably not racist, his top says ‘BLM’

I’ve had enough, I say, just tell me what is it
Are we about to kiss or are you just a prejudice
He says 'You’re an actor, right?'
Guys, turns out I’m just famous

He says ‘I loved you in that BBC drama,
About an undercover cop and his father’
And I was like ‘Yeah, no, you’re thinking of my brother’

You were neither checking me out, nor are you a racist
You just mistook me for my more famous brother
Out of all the options, this is probabyl the most shit
If I’m being honest mate, I’d rather you were racist

Altogether now...

Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
