Give Me a Spanner Ralph - Robyn Hitchcock

You know one time I knew a guy called Ralph

Seems like a really long time ago now, but

He was a friend

Well there’s guys like Hoyst

That gotta be moist

Girls like Joanna

With a modern day manner

Mamas like Joyce

With her turned up voice

The eyes-apple handles

That taste of a triple banana

Oh, Ralph, give me a spanner

That’s what I want

Well, there’s guys like Raymond

That gotta be dim

Cats like John

That gotta be dumb

Unlike him

You come in

With a guise that can handle the pace of a young iguana

Please, Ralph, give me a spanner

Come on, Ralph, that’s what I want
