Shirt - Bonzo Dog Band

Hello, well that was the sound of Roger’s Wah Wah Rabbits

You heard them eating endive there

That’s very cheap at this time of the year

But now here in Willesden Green, yes, brr, it’s a bit chilly

But no matter, because here comes a gentleman

And we’re going to talk to him about shirts

Excuse me, sir

Would you mind talking to us about shirts?

Do what?

About shirts, shirts?

Yes

Cause I’ve got plenty at home, good grief

And here comes a lady with an enchanting little kangaroo

And I’m going to ask her something about shirts

No, I’m not because she’s given me a rather a vulgar sign

Would you excuse me, would you mind, we’re talking about shirts?

Huh?

About shirts, shirts?

Yes, the problem of shirts

The kind of, um, you know, are they necessary?

Shirts

Where it is, where it is, yes, where is shirts?

I don’t know, you don’t know

Um, oh dear, there’s a gentleman marching down here with

A very determined stride, he looks a little cautious, he’s hopping

Excuse me, sir, would you mind talking to me for a moment at all?

Uh, uh, what do you mean, guv’nor?

What do you want to know?

Well, we’re talking about shirts, about are they still necessary?

Do you think?

I mean, do you think they should

They stop making shirts?

Oh, no, not at all, a man’s not Dr

Not dressed unless he’s got a nice shirt on, governor, is he?

Not really, I suppose, what about the lengths of the shirt?

Because the old ones used to be very long

Well, I’m more for the short shirt, the old types old-fashioned, mate

Gotta be a bit modern these days, governor, ain’t yer?

Yes

Well, you’re certain with it, anyway?

Well, you’ve got to be with it, of course.

It’s, uh

Yes, right, okay, well, thank you very much

See you, right, ho, bye, bye, bye, bye

Well, I think we’re going to have to leave it there

And I’m going to take you right away straight over

To the Earls Court Olympia to watch the shirt event

I’ll repeat that, the shirt event, I’ll repeat that

The shirt event, I’ll repeat that, the shirt event

I’ll repeat that, the shirt event

Good morning, could I have

This shirt cleaned express, please?

Yes, that’ll be three weeks, dearie, three weeks?

But the sign outside says 59-minute cleaners

Yes, that’s just the name of the shop, luv

We take three weeks to do a shirt

Just the name of the shop?

Yes, that’s if there’s an R in the month

Otherwise it’s four weeks

Your name does begin with a P, doesn’t it?

Well, no, actually, of course it’s, uh

Well, that’ll be five weeks, then, five weeks?

Blimey

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin' the shirt

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin' the shirt

Well, they’re shakin' my shirt all over the place

But it’s been thrown right back in my face

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin' the shirt

New horizons in sound now as Roger

Plays a solo on the electric shirt collar

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin' the shirt

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin' the shirt
