Story behind the song
Dear Frank, Thank you for the crate of organic vegetable soup. I agree totally with your plans for the immediate ethnic cleansing of Planet Klennaar. It's a well known fact that black magic is practised in every house so your compassionate proposal of carpet bombing the drain outside the Radcliffe Arms with small plastic crucifixes seems entirely logical though I am slightly wary of your enthusiasm for Junkers JU 52 Luftwaffe Transport planes to be presented to the runners-up of the annual ‘Cutteslowe Wall in Bloom’ Competition instead of the customary certificates of merit. In my experience, Osmiroid Calligraphy ink does not bind well to the JU52’s corrugated surface and feel that if a change has to be made, the Westland Lysander with its attractive ink-hugging wheel spats would be a much wiser alternative. Regards, Stickleclack
Lyrics
Where did you meet 'er? I've never met her anywhere Where did you meet 'er? I never met her. Where did you meet her? I've never met anyone. Neil Ayres, 51 Aldrich Road DHSS number: 57111 Cutteslowe... I met... I met you in Cairo And you borrowed my biro To write a postcard To those stinky cousins Nige and Trev And in the marshes of the Nile Delta I think I first felt a Stirring down in my heart Oh but you ran away with someone and they took you to somewhere but listen baby I don't care 'cause you can keep Yeah you can keep those stinky PYRAMIDS Well why do you want to hang around with a pussy cat anyway? You can keep those PYRAMIDS Go soak in your embalming fluid Like your pharoahs used to do it You can keep You can keep your PYRAMIDS I found your footprints In the sand His big toe Fair dwarfed my hand I won't follow you So let him lift your veil Let him tear off his fez Let him run his greasy fingers Down the back of your dress It doesn't bother me Oh but you ran away with someone And they took you to somewhere But listen baby I don't care 'cause you can keep Yes you can keep those smelly stinky PYRAMIDS A 2000 year old pussy cat? Wahh! You can keep those PYRAMIDS In my opinion your new boyfriend stinks Gonna push him off the top of the Sphinx You can keep your PYRAMIDS Lyrics & music copyright 1985 Mick Clack/Frank Fish
