What a difference a moustache makes
It’s a well-known fact clean-shaven blokes don’t get the breaks
Look at Magnum PI – Selleck brought the full face-thatch in
To serve as a distraction from his most abysmal acting
What a difference a moustache makes
WIthout the furry monorail, a man’s just no great shakes
Look at Adolf Hitler, he was just a rubbish painter -
One nostril-shoe-shine later, he’s an evil world dictator!
Bum-fluff’s not enough - It’s a tabula razor
What a difference a moustache makes
Curly-coated snakes, two useful things to cultivate
Smokey and the Bandit, Lee Van Cleef and Joseph Stalin
None of them were very good but didn’t they look charming?
What a difference a moustache makes
Well-bred men with Handlebars made British empire great
We haven’t had Prime Minister with whiskers since Macmillan
If Cameron got a face-hugger, then GB might start winning
Hirsute pursuits are manly, just ask the Village People what
Difference a moustache makes.

Want STDs?
The world is just too dirty
To be safely flirty
I would rather we stayed home
Shall we go out tonight? No, it’s not worth the risk
Let’s stay in and flick one off the wrist.
Want VD?
Gonorrhea, herpes?
So many diseases,
The world outside is just too bleak.
Careful, cos
Large hard-on collider, might
Leave disease inside ya -
I won’t even share a toilet seat.
HIV?
Syphilis? Not likely!
Avoiding Hepatitis
Simple as your ABC
Otaku?
I don’t have a loose screw!
Lock myself in the loo
Paper up my cracks with toiletries
Shall we go out tonight? No, it’s not worth the risk
Let’s stay in and flick one off the wrist.

Pregnant Pauses

Been in foreign parts for past six months with heavy heart, missing kid sister
When she waddles up to me at airport, plain to see something’s amiss there
First I think she’s just got fat but it’s not that, no, overall she’s thinner
Not been eating buns, she’s got one in the oven, almost time for dinner
I don’t mean to be rude But when she got screwed
She really got screwed
Me and her nerd lover, her McLovin’, we are gonna have a run-in
Make him do the right thing by her, make sure babe inside her wants for nothing
I am going to get him working like the Trojan he should have been wearing
Leam him when you cock your gun for safety catch it or it’s shotgun wedding
I don’t mean to be rude But when you two screwed
Both of you got screwed
(and now, a short pause to indicate the passing of time …
Thank you for your patience. You will now be returned to your scheduled programming.
Key change!)
Back from seeing little sister’s guy, she’s there, expecting a straight answer -
Can’t give that any longer. Pregnant pause. “So, sis I met your babyfather -
A charismatic man! I understand now how your flower got co-opted.
Talked me out of mine, as well. We’re going out. Have you thought of adoption?”
I don’t have a clue -
Only two of us screwed
But there’s three eating for two

Footballer Nicklas Bendtner, that sometimes striker for Arsenal
Built his own visitor centre in grounds of Valdemaar castle
Which is in South central Denmark. Discounted tickets on offer -
Visit both centre and Space Park for a mere seventy krone!
Everyone and their monkey has their own visitor centre
“why not me?”, so thunk he - arrogant Nicklas Bendtner!
Pink football boots on display there, the Aston Martin he wrote off,
Video of his adventures With three-litre bottle of Smirnoff,
Animatronic Arsene Wenger shaking its fist, losing temper
Whenever Bendtner fluffs sitter or’s photographed out on a bender
Nickys’ tourism adventure -lesson in lack of awareness
Had to close visitor centre -turns out we just couldn’t care less

Electro/Cute

Hipster Maggie and her boyfriend formed a cute electro band
First gig out in Shoreditch didn’t go as well as they had planned
Voltage differential between Moog keyboard and the mic stand
Massive surge the moment that she touched it with her hand
Used to be (electro) cute
Now just pair of smoking boots -
yes, she Used to be (electro) cute
Now, she’s welded to her suit -
Maggie should have stayed more grounded. What did she expect?
Thanks to venue’s faulty fog machine the stage was dripping wet
Audience mistake her death for just a cool special effect
Hipsters all, they whoop, applaud abrupt end to her set
CHORUS
Dreams of fame and fortune not completely up in smoke
Pandemonium caught on his phone by random bloke
And youtube uploaded with a single keyboard stroke
Posthumous career waits, as the butt of tasteless joke
There’s more than one way to light up a room.

100 years ago Franz the tailor made a suit
Designed to open out at heights into a parachute
Franz the giant tailor made a giant leap of faith
If he came up short, he'd be left with a red face
No one dared to catch him, but he had the self belief
and prior reputation for miscalculation
He climbed the Eiffel tower and jumped off the summit
Suit did not deploy, oh boy, a sixty metre plummet
Franz the flying Tailor making leap for hall of fame
Missed it by a foot or two, got scrambled by the Seine
No one there to catch him, but the press caught it on film
Ended up in failure, Franz failing forever
100 years and things are very much the same
It's the hope that will get you in the end

Rod Hull and Emo
01:12

All you Emo children, lend an ear
I’ve a story that I think you’ll want to hear
About a guy who lived his life with constant cheer
No matter how absurd the world appeared. Mister
Rod Hull was a children’s puppeteer
One who spent majority of his career
Right up to the elbow in his puppet emu’s rear
And never once got tired of the idea - though it was dumb
To make your money up a toy bird’s bum.
If that sounds a farce, his death’s the proof.
Watching footy in a storm, the arial came loose
Sadly lost his footing while he was up on the roof
And plunged down to his death, the silly goose. And he
Never saw the final score. His passing
Bittersweet for sure, at least it left us laughing.
All you Emo kiddies should be heeding Rod Hull’s lesson
Life and death too dumb to be depressing, yes they are,
You should live for fun, the rest is dressing.

Key of death has just one note
Played real slow on a Casio
VL Tone, batteries are running low
And the operator doesn't know
Key of death is the brown note x2
key of death is the key of off
pensioner dressed up as a goth
flicking off of the smoker's cough
Just hasn't got the strength to stop
Key of death is the brown note
REPEAT VERSES 1 & 2
Just hasn't got the strength to stop x 4
Stop!

Was it massive Meteor
Or virulent flu virus? Pre-
Emptive suicide en masse
To avoid that Miley Cyrus?
WHAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS? WHAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS?
NOT WHAT, NOT WHAT, WHO, WHO WHO?
WHO KILLED THE DINOSAURS? WHO KILLED THE DINOSAURS?
YOU KILLED THE DINOSAURS, YOU, YOU, YOU!
Unintelligent Design - you
Couldn’t stand those tiny hands and
So You travelled back in time, had
All the dinosaurs trepanned!
CHORUS
Also Terra Nova has an
Awful lot to answer for, one
Season of that show has slaughtered
Reputation of Dinosaurs.
(roll on Jurassic Park 4.)

Handsome Ted Danson
01:31

There will never be
a standee made of me
Standing in the corner of a
Corner-shop promoting soda
Pop.
And that’s OK with me
It’s not for want of trying so there
Is no need of crying
I will never be as
Handsome as Ted Danson but I
Know that I can be your Sam Malone
There will never be
A documentary
Made about my awesome life
and broadcast to acclaim on your
Tvs.
Controversy will not follow me like
Lana Del Rey’s plastic surgery.
CHORUS
(Handsome Ted Danson
The Damsel's dumb of choice)
I am not afraid of
Dying if you’ll be my Diane and
Spend your life with me, your Sam Malone -
Don’t leave me alone no no no
