The final part of Claude Friese-Greene's journey around Britain. I've blogged other parts but BoingBoing today pointed to this...
SONG LYRIC:
CARNABY CARNIVAL
Regent Street meets Oxford Street
Trish meets her two pals
and after a bit of a natter
go shopping do the gals
with rings in their belly-buttons
Yeah rings in their navels
Trish and Vicky and Val
they're part of the Carnaby carnival
They talk about the clothes
in their parrot-fashion way
You too can be a rebel
and dress like a pirate say
All the anti-fashion gear
is sold by the designers of today
Trish etc (twice)
There's the good shop Liberty
at Kingly Court far from the sea
Regent etc
Trish etc (thrice)
Another fab version of Trev's song Teardrop in the Tees with Colin playing violin and me playing flute and singing with Trev.
SONG LYRIC:
GOT YOUR GORGON'S HEAD ON
I'm not your Aunt Sally
and I'm not Worzel Gummidge
Watch how you go girl
when through my pockets you rummage
You won't find a single thing
that says that I am having a fling
Yes watch how you go
and whose toes you tread on
even though I know
you've got your gorgon's head on
No I'm not your Aunt Sally
so don't throw stuff at me
I am not he kind to stick around
where there's green-eyed jealousy
Fix me do with that stare
If I'm a snake then I'm out your hair
Yes watch etc (twice)
Repeat 1st verse
Yes watch etc (twice)
SONG LYRICS:
SQUARE MILE (WHO'S YOUR MOTHER?)
We the good people
here in London's Square Mile
ask you to come join us
and make yourself a pile
Yes big money is our game
and Joe Public is profane
Who's your mother?
Who's your mother?
Roll up your trouser leg
and do the funny handshake, brother
We are on the Square
come be with us brother
No need for us to compete
or conspire against each other
Learn the funny handshake
and let us be your mother
Who's your etc (twice)
We the good etc
Who's your etc (twice)
BELLADONNA
Belladonna
Mistress de Sade
Belladonna
deadly nightshade
Oh yes she's ace
The ace of spades
She's known as death
in the funeral trade
or to anybody of
no very tender age
Belladonna etc
Oh yes she's mad
Mad as a hatter
Yet does that lady
know how to flatter
She'll suck your blood
leave you dead matter
Belladonna etc
Repeat 1st verse
Belladonna etc (twice)
SONG LYRICS:
GLIMMER TWINS
On the stage is Mr Death
along with Mr Shimmer-Limbs
Keithy Guitar and Micky Lips
sometimes know as the Glimmer Twins
There is old Mick Jagger
and he's a-thrusting like a dagger
He's a-dancing and a-prancing
He's a-prancing and a-dancing
On the stage etc
There he is, Mick's twin-star
rocking 'n' rolling with his guitar
He's a-strumming and a-humming
He's a-humming and a-strumming
On the stage etc
Soul survivors
those two are
Soul survivors
those twin-stars
Repeat 1st verse
On the stage etc
YOU CAN TALK
You can talk
but can you sing?
You put down everyone
You put down everything
You think you know it all
but you are a ding-a-ling
If you are so clever
why do you act so dumb?
You think you're the forefinger
when you're the stubby thumb
Folk see you coming
and turn around to run
You can etc
Yeah if you are so clever
why do you act so daft?
The words that you spout
cause one hell of a draught
Try learn some thinking skills
Apply them to your jawing craft
You can etc
If you etc
You can etc
