GLENDA AND THE TEST TUBE BABY

CHORUS:

Victory if Glenda she, had a baby, oooeee,

Things were looking gloomy and Glenda she was sad,
Kevin had been out with Carol Sands,
But Glenda she though surely,
It can't be that bad, if I had a baby,
 
 

CHORUS

Glenda went round to the doctors the next day,
You can't have a baby, that's what he said,
Glenda did not give up she's got this book to read,
Of how to have a test tube baby....

Glenda's Dad had just died and she was unhappy,
If only she could have a baby,
So to the disapproval of Kevin and his mam,
She signed up for a baby...

everybody risking life and limb
and just to go and pose at the disco
but posing wasn't easy and the D.J.
he got queasy, blow by blow...

a lonely policeman walks the beat...

CHORUS



YUL BRYNNER WAS A SKINHEAD

 

 

There's a fella from a film
reminds me of Duncan Goodewe
but he's not a proper skinhead
cause he hasn't got a tattoo

He's not as wise as he seems
coz he's just an actor
he's a dunce, I've never seen
him on the Krypton Factor

We all rinse in Silvercrin
to keep our head clean
but we know that Yul's not
a common human being
coz he uses Mr Sheen...
 
 

CHORUS:

Yul Brynner, Yul Brynner,
they say he's a skinhead
but we know that it's a lie
Yul Brynner, Yul Brynner
he is just a baldy geezer
from the King & I,
Yul BBBBB Brynner

Yul Brynner was a skinhead
they said on the News,
but I've never seen Yul Brynner
wearing Doctor Martens shoes

His only claim to fame was that
he had a shiney nut
But I would look just the same
if I had my hair cut

We all rinse in Silvercrin...

CHORUS


I'VE GOT ASTHMA

 

 

I've got asthma and I can not breath
can't breath at all!

I am choking and my face is blue
blue and it's getting worse!
I think I will have to lie down... coz
 
 

CHORUS:

I've got ASTHMA yeah I've got ASTHMA
yeah I've got ASTHMA...

I've got asthma and I am wheezing
wheezing like mad!
I don't think I will sleep tonight
I think I'll reach for my inhaler
Good idea!
I hope it makes me feel better... coz
 
 

CHORUS

My inhaler needs a refill
what shall I do?
the Chemist is not open yet
blue face, can't breath and I'm still wheezing
dear me! dear me!
I just do not know what to do... coz
 
 

CHORUS



THE ASHBROOKE LAUNDERETTE.... YOU'LL STINK, YOUR CLOTHES SHRINK, YOUR WHITE'SLL BE AS BLACK AS INK

with his dirty socks and undies o, o, o, o, oh
to the cleaners on the corner, but how was I to know

CHORUS:

Rub a dub a dub dub we wash and scrub

Rub a dub a dub dub we wash your laundry..
They say my clothes are cleaner
but I'm not a lunatic

Per-sil Auto-matic
Rub a dub a dub rub a dub a dub dub...

So many things go missing at the Ashbrooke Launderette
so many things go missing at the Ashbrooke Launderette

So if you want some washing done

you'll suffer at the Ashbrooke Lauderette...
 
 

CHORUS
 
 

You'll stink, your clothes shrink
your white'sll be as black as ink
your best red jumper turns to pink
all crumpled up and wet
We've been, have you been
to get your dirty washing clean
Are you clean you couldn't have been
to the Ashbrooke Launderette...
