Bonzo Dog Band - Rhinocratic Oaths lyrics

rate me

After his second wife passed away, Percy Rawlinson

Seemed to spend more and more time with his alsatian

Owl.

His friends told him "You should get out more, Percy,

Or you'll wind up looking like a dog, ha ha."

He was later arrested near a lampost.

At his trial some months later he surprised everyone by

Mistaking a policeman for a postman and tearing his

Trousers off with his bare teeth.

In his defence he told the court "It's hard to tell the

Difference when they take their hats off."

Mrs Betty Pench was playing the trombone when she heard

A knock on the door.

"I wonder who that is at eleven o'clock in the morning"

She thought, but cautiously opened the door and instead

Of the turbanned ruffian she had expected, she found a

Very nice young man.

"Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like

A triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.

Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it

All? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

"I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.

With a geranium behind each ear and his face painted

With gay cavalistic symbols, six foot eight seventeen

Stone police seargent Geoff Bull looked jolly

Convincing as he sweated and grunted through a vigorous

Triscutine at the Fraga Gogo Viachella.

His hot surge trousers flapped wildly over his

Enourmous plastic sandals as he jumped and jumped and

Gyrated towards a long-haired man.

"Uh, excuse me, ma'am, I have reason to believe you can

Turn me on."

He leered suggestively.

As if by magic dozens of truncheons appeared and they

Mercilessly thrashed him.

Poor Geoff, what a turnout for the books.

Much as he hated arguments or any kind of

Unpleasantness, Ron Shir thought things had gone too

Far when, returning from a weekend in Clapton, he found

That his neighbour had trimmed the enourmous hedge

Dividing their gardens into the shape of a human leg.

Enraged and envious beyond belief, Ron seized his

Garden shears and clipped his white poodle Leo into a

Coffee table.

"That'll fix it," thought Ron, but he was wrong.

The following Wednesday his neighbour had his bushy

Waist-length hair cut and permed into a model of the

Queen Elizabeth and went sailing.

Everywhere he went, people said "Hooray!"

Sometimes you just can't win.
