Parody artist with a penchant for wit and wordplay

This isn't a band, it's just me... I write songs, usually parodies, and occasionally get the chance to record stuff. This seemed like a good sort of site to give people access to the recordings. I hope you like them: I like to think they're kind of funny

Story behind the song

An retelling in verse of an old joke

Lyrics

My daddy, well, he'd say to me
When I was very young
You might like Coke or Lemonade,
But they don't cut it, son
'Cause you'll find out when you are grown
And you're as old as me
That the best taste ever on your tongue
Is Trans World Airline tea
(leastways, that's what I think he said)

Well I grew older, got a job
As well you'd guess I might
I took my first week's wages
And I booked myself a flight
To nowhere in particular
'Cause I just had to see
What was so darn special
'Bout that Trans World Airline tea
(I was kind of looking forward to trying it, you see)

I saw the stewardess pushing
Her trolley up the aisle
"Would you like anything to drink?"
She asked me with a smile
And so I looked her in the eye
I knew what it had to be, I said 
"I'd like to sample some o'
Your famous Trans World Airline tea"
(well, she didn't bat an eyelid at that)

"OK, young man", she replied
"But I hope you've some spare lolly
For that's a hidden delicacy
That isn't on the trolley
Nip back into the kitchen
And we'll see what we shall see"
So off I went, hoping I'd get
Some Trans World Airline tea.
(well, it sure left a smile on my lips, I can tell you)

So now I'm grown, and older
I know dad's advice was sound
I've partaken of it near and far
Aloft and on the ground
I've found it's even better
When it's been stirred, by me
And best when taken nice and hot
My Trans World Airline Tea
