about

A song to mock a mockery

lyrics

Verse
Egg man in shape, a Walrus as narrator
A videotaped answer to a question of character
Lunatic fringed, blathered by Nature
A raconteur, a simpleton,
An obvious failure

Chorus
He's our boy, noble and charming
Our boy, irreverent, disarming
He's tousled and frumpish
A Terry Jones of a blouse
He's our boy
And never a louse

Verse 2
Dough boy in pocket
Oh Boy! In trouser
Burberry-clad, bourgeois posterior
Often mistaken yet never in doubt,
Full steam ahead damn the iceberg to ground

Chorus

Bridge
He sold all your souls to the Isle of Dogs
He's best friends with Dom, the cleverest of clogs
He gets more laughs than a quip from a Beatles
He feeds all his porkies on swill of the people
