In what way does a shot in the dark beat a walk in the park and how does it make you feel alright exactly?

[Grimalkin]

"I'm an alligator
I'm a mama-papa comin' for you
I'm the space invader
I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' beach for you
Keep your mouth shut
You're squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I'm bustin' up my brains for the words..."

 

Indeed.

[tauzero]

I never fail to be impressed by the profundity of

 

Lip up, fatty, ah, lip up, fatty, for the reggae
Lip up, fatty, ah, lip up, fatty, for the reggae
Listen to the music, shuffle up your feet
Listen to the music of the fatty beat

Nonsense lyrics, but actually work quite well as a rhythmic device.

 

 

It is also a lot of rhyme , but not the usual "boy/joy" or "girl/world" rhymes.

I really really really wanna zig a zig ah.

Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.

 

Alternatively,

 

De do do do, de da da da.

Apparently, 'zig a zig ah' is slang for the act of making the beast with two backs.

Which means that the chorus of said song basically consisted of Mel B yelling "I WANT A SHAG".

Indecipherable lyrics? Might as well stop the thread now.  

 

Rasta Ozzy, from up de hill, decide fi check pon him grocery bill
And when him add up de things him need, di dooney done weh him save fi buy lickle weed
Him hand pon him jaw, Lord, red in eye and just mediate
"This time is so hard Lord, I man a think 'bout emigrate
I make up mi mind Lord, I might as well go gainst I man faith
So I forward a market, I sight de butcher boy by de gate"

(You want goat?) No I might a kill I queen
(Try beef nuh?) I no check fi no grass weh green
(What about fowl?) Watcha now, it's time fi a change
(Mi have fish?) Got children out of that range
(How about de steak?) Watcha now, you nuh sight de rate?
(Try de tripe nuh?) Bun mi belly when I pull me pipe
(Alright what about de pork?) Hush your mouth, mind mi brethren hear
Sell I a pound of dat thing there

 

Then de butcher pull up a stool, begin fi question Ozzy how him so fool
What kind of something cook in a pot? From him born him never did hear about that
Well watcha now, master, give I time make I try explain
It's just like a flim show, fi protect de humble we change de name
I would have feel so cute fi come in and ask for some annal fat
I and I feel safer if we change de subject and call it 'dat'

(You want goat?) No I might a kill I queen
(Tek de beef then nuh) I no check fi no grass weh green
(What bout fowl?) Watcha now, it's time fi a change
(Tek de fish then) Got children out of that range
(Me have good  steak you know) Watcha now, you nuh sight de rate?
(Tek de tripe then nuh) Bun mi belly when I pull me pipe
(Force down de pork then) Hush your mouth, mind mi brethren hear
Sell I a pound of dat thing there

 

Ozzy pay off de butcher bill, take him parcel and trod up de hill
Like a spy, who you think him meet? Rasta Jeremiah, from down de street
"Guidance mi brethren! It's what you have inna dat deh bag?"
Him kind of get frightened, and begin fi hide it beneath him rag
"That man no fi high, Lord, mek mi go a mi yard, and take a sat
Meanwhile light a fire and we help you eat of di pound of 'dat'"

(Mi have oxtail you know?) No I might a kill I queen
(You want cow trotters?) I no deal with no grass weh green
(Hold di fowl then nuh?) Watcha now, it's time fi a change
(Eat fish God) Got children out of that range
(De steak good you know?) Watcha now, you nuh sight de rate?
(Then hold di tripe nuh?) Bun mi belly when I pull me pipe
(Well take de pork man) Hush your mouth, mind mi brethren hear
Sell I a pound of dat thing there

(Anuh ram goat you know?) No I might a kill I queen
(Take di beef nuh man!) I no deal with no grass weh green
(Cho!, Hold fowl) Watcha now, it's time fi a change
(Then buy de fish nuh man!) Got children out of that range
(*sucks teeth* Take de steak Jah) Watcha now, you nuh sight de rate?
(Hold some a de tripe nuh?) Bun mi belly when I pull me pipe
(Take de pork man!) Hush your mouth, mind mi brethren hear
Sell I a pound of dat thing there

"She used to be a diplomat, now she`s down the laundromat"

 

Not one of Gary Kempt`s finest lyric.

 

[StickyDBRmf]

It makes you feel alright exactly because tutti frutti oh rootie.

Wop bop a loo bop a lop. Ba ba.

[Mickyk]

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad.

 

What is horny black toad?

Horned lizards (Phrynosoma), also known as horny toads or horntoads, are a genus of North American lizards and the type genus of the family Phrynosomatidae. The common names refer directly to their horns or to their flattened, rounded bodies, and blunt snouts. Horned lizard.

Question is ?why did he want to hunt them, i ll bet they taste  good though with a bit of French Mustard.

Lie down girl let me push it up, push it up, lie down
Lie down girl let me push it up, push it up, lie down

Look how you're big and fat, like a big, big shot
Give the crumpet to big foot Joe, give the craddock to me

Lie down girl let me push it up, push it up, lie down
Lie down girl let me push it up, push it up, lie down

 

 

I'm not sure what craddock is, but it sounds a bit too close to haddock for my liking.

Few things are more revolting than F anny Craddock's cooking. Even after all these years it's indelibly etched upon my memory. A culinary antidote to '70s nostalgia.

An unoriginal choice, but prize for most random lyrics has to go to Procol Harem’s “Whiter shade of pale”.   Of course everyone was high on the good stuff back then, so it probably made more sense.

 

My friend's Dad used to call it 'that song about the nuns on a trip to the seaside'
