We're the love brigade
Sings serenades
Flying in G6 jets
Over woodland glades
These are canapés and not hand grenades
And that's the choice we made
Go USA
Or Taliban chic
If you got massive hands
Or tiny feet
Life hands you lemons then sell lemonade
It's the choice we made
So
I'm gonna sell a soda pop
I wanna sell soda pop
I'm gonna sell soda pop
I wanna sell soda pop
Soda!
Yoda!
Bop shoo wop
We like the birds
We go likely lads
I go on strike
We're not scab scab scabs
The love we lost when no one stayed
It's the choice we made
They wanna know
About the clothes we wear
If we swing both ways
But who stays there
As long as we get paid we don't care
The choice is theirs
So
I'm gonna sell a soda pop
I wanna sell soda pop
I'm gonna sell soda pop
I wanna sell soda pop
Soda!
Yoda!
Bop shoo wop
Come enjoy the madness
How you dance through the fire
Is all that matters now
How can you resist us?
We are the business
So
I'm gonna sell a soda pop
I wanna sell soda pop
I'm gonna sell soda pop
I wanna sell soda pop
Soda!
Yoda!
Bop shoo wop
Come enjoy the madness
How you dance through the fire
Is all that matters now
How can you resist us?
We are the business
So, so, so, so!
About This Song
"Soda Pop" is a whimsical, stream-of-consciousness romp that showcases Robbie Williams' playful side through absurdist lyrics that jump from luxury jets to Taliban references to selling carbonated beverages. The song embraces deliberate nonsensicality, mixing high-brow imagery like "canapés" with silly rhymes and the repeated mantra of selling soda pop, creating a sense of joyful chaos that reflects Williams' irreverent personality. Musically, it fits the swing-influenced style of the *Swings Both Ways* album, blending retro big-band elements with modern pop sensibilities and Williams' characteristic theatrical delivery. The track's central theme seems to celebrate making unconventional choices ("that's the choice we made") and finding freedom in embracing the ridiculous rather than taking life too seriously. While not one of his major hits, the song demonstrates Williams' willingness to experiment and his talent for turning complete randomness into an oddly catchy and memorable piece of pop art.
