Bonzo Dog Band - Sport (the Odd Boy) lyrics

rate me

Let's go back to your childhood ...

The odd boy lay down by the football field

Took out a slim volume of Mallarme.

The centre-forward called him an imbecile.

It's an odd boy who doesn't like sport.

Sport, Sport, masculine sport.

Equips a young man for society.

Yes, sport turns out a jolly good sort.

It's an odd boy who doesn't like sport.

Dear Mr. Poxham, would you kindly excuse Steven from

Games today? He has had a nasty cold over the weekend and

Still has headaches and feels a bit snotty. I don't feel

He should be outside with the rougher type of boy, as he

Is a little delicate. Hoping you will understand, yours

Sincerely, Nellie Maynard, Mrs.

Give him a nice, cold shower.

CHORUS
