It's wonderful to be back with you once again, isn't it, Ronnie? Indeed it is.
And in a packed programme tonight, we shall be meeting with the Irish
who specialises in stealing free samples.
And in our new natural history feature, we'll be having a look at amazing
wildlife footage of Italian birds surrendering to a worm.
The news.
American singing star Dolly Parton was tonight reported to have found the
favourite guitar she lost 20 years ago.
It was up her jumper.
Whilst the thundersly man who crossed the Swiss cheese plant, a breadfruit
and an India rubber tree today had his first crop of British rail sandwiches.
News tonight, too, that an Irish scientist has crossed a homing pigeon
parrot and got a bird that keeps landing and asking the way.
lying in a Soho gutter last night wearing a latex wetsuit, wellingtons and
rubber gas mask was today found not guilty of being drunk but fined ยฃ20 for
having less than the required depth of tread.
And the Dorsetshire farmer whose chicken laid a ยฃ28 egg held a champagne supper
last night. The chicken didn't attend as it was still suffering from shell
shock.
And during redecoration at Brentford Public Library today, high jumper
Farrington Bland accidentally sat on a blow lamp and leapt straight into the
record books.
London's Heathrow Senior Customs Officer Cephas Mumby retired today. He shook
hands with passengers passing through the customs and confiscated a gold watch
for himself.
set on the Costa Smeralda, the Aga Khan's private resort, which is so
that yesterday the tide went out and they wouldn't let it back in.
Is this the Arnold Murray School of Dancing? That's right, yes. Mr. Dribble?
Tibble? Oh, Tibble, yes.
I expected a much sort of bigger place. Ah, you're thinking of the Arthur Murray
School of Dancing. This is the Arnold Murray School of Dancing, you see. Much
smaller business, so we can be cheaper. You understand?
Yes, yes. Now, you've come for your first lesson, right? Yes. Am I early?
No, no, you're fine. Now, we usually start with the waltz, you see, because
find that people pick that up fairly easily. Could I just have your coat,
please? Thank you.
I'll look after that for you. There we are.
Thank you. That's fine.
That's lovely.
Now, excuse me, are you going to teach me? Oh, yes, yes, I'm actually Arnold
Murray, you see. Now, I'd like you to put that on because I'm going to be the
one that's leading, all right? Oh, yes. I want you to hold your hand up there.
Forward side together.
Forward side together. One, two, three, one, two, three. Forward side together.
Forward side together. One, two, three, one, two, three. Forward side together.
Forward side together.
Oh, thank you, Miss Higgins.
Barton, thank you. Do you mind if I check the letters? I won't for the
Because you never know.
Excuse me, does she work here?
Yes, occasionally. She's my assistant.
Couldn't I dance with her?
I'm afraid not. It's impossible.
She's one of the untouchables. Oh, I didn't know Negro girls were
Oh, this one isn't. Believe me, I've tried.
You're a little tense there. I want you to relax a little. Now, come along. One,
two, three. One, two, three. Oh, you're so good to me. One, two, three. Oh,
you're so good to me.
I feel a bit silly. Yes, well, that's because you look silly.
Don't worry about it. You'll soon get used to it. I should have thought a chap
like you would have got used to it already, really. Listen, have you ever
thought of bodybuilding? Why?
Well, I could swap over your dance lesson fee. You see, I could swap it
the Arnold Murray Beef Building Fitness Club. You've already paid your three
quid. Oh, yes, I sent the postal off. Well, what do you think about it? I've
all the equipment.
Well, doesn't your assistant teach that? I mean, she looks as though she's got
all the equipment.
No,
no, no, don't worry. I'm fully qualified. I took a correspondence
weightlifting, yes. I hold the Golden Trust.
I'll soon have you in shape.
Well, to be absolutely honest, that shouldn't be my shape. You should have
me before.
Do you know I was once as tall as you? Really? When was that? When I was 11.
Why don't you try this? Completely free. Just lie down there. Do a few press
-ups. No obligation at all. That's it. Keep a nice straight back.
Was that you? Oh, no.
What is it, Miss Higgintop?
Oh, Miss Brownlow. Thank you, Miss Brownlow. You won't be a minute.
Come here, Miss Brownlow. Oh, hello.
Would you just pop behind the screen and take your clothes off? Thank you very
much. That's it.
Hello.
Arnold Murray School of... Sorry.
Arnold Murray School of Art.
Arnold Murray Worldwide Book of the Month Club.
Oh, yes, madam. Yes, yes. Well, there are actually two publications concerned
with the cultivation of crops, yes. One's mainly for gardeners. That's the
Weeders' Digest.
And the other one is really only for farmers. Oh, that's the one you meant,
it? Yes, the Breeders' Digest.
No, I'm afraid there's no pictures, no.
Your husband wants to make sure he gets his what?
Oh, his oats. Oats?
Only every three years. You see, you must rotate.
You must rotate.
Well, I'll send the book on. If you're not perfectly delighted in 14 days, we
retain the money. All right, goodbye.
Are you all right, Dennis?
Well, I'd sooner be doing the walks. I'll work you a second.
Hello?
What is it, Miss Hotbottom?
Mr. Jesson is here. Oh, Mr. Jason. Mr. Jason. Are you all right? Oh, yes, come
out, mister.
Now,
just sit there, would you? That's the idea.
Now, then, how long have you had this eye trouble?
Oh, about 300.
I'd like you just to read what you can on this card, would you? There.
Starting with the big A, going on to the X and the O. Am I too early? No, not at
all. What is it today?
Life class. Life class, of course it is. How are you getting on? I can't see
from here. Well, get a bit nearer, dear. Don't strain your eyes. Come on.
Now, you would help me if you just put one arm up like that, would you? And one
arm there. That's it. And put your foot up there.
That's it. How's that, Mr. Jason? Perfect.
Oh, good.
Are you the vet?
Yes, I'm the vet, madam, yes.
I rang earlier.
There's something the matter with my pom.
Oh, dear. Step behind the screen. I'll have a look at it for you.
It's my dog. Oh. My Bomeranium. Yes. Shall I bring him in? Yes, do bring him
would you?
Oh.
Yes. A step behind the screen. Take your clothes off. I'll be with you in a
moment, my dear. Excuse me, I've got to get back.
My wife's got a cake in the oven. Oh, congratulations.
What are you hoping for?
Well, we're hoping for a sultana sponge. That's what went in.
Do we just get in the hang of it?
Miss Brown, I wonder if you could come over and just partner this gentleman for
me? That's it. Is this lady qualified?
Well, she certainly looks it to me, yes.
Not me. Oh, you, yes. Are you ready, madam? Yes.
Now, what can I do for you, dear?
about the job as cleaning lady.
Yes, would you just come over here and hold your handbag up there, my dear, up
there. Put your arm up there. Would you put up there, dear, would you?
There we are. How's that, Mr... I think you'd better have a bigger pad. There
you are.
Morning. Oh, hello, Mr Jones.
How's Lady Jones? Go and sit over there, would you? Sit over by the chair.
That's it. Now, I'll get you some music, you ladies and gentlemen. Oh, yes.
That's it. Here we go.
Oh, isn't it lovely? Thank you very much. Just go and sit over with Mr Jones
there, would you?
What do you like with animals, dear? Oh, very good, sir. I love them. Hold this
one, would you?
Fancy this done?
Why not?
Right. Oh, excuse me.
Hello.
Murray Funeral Service.
Yes.
Sorry, could you speak up a bit?
Yes, this is the chapel of rest, yes.
I'm sorry, no, he's no longer with us, I'm afraid. No, he died.
Goodbye.
It's completely inexperienced. They all say that. No, as a dance teacher. Oh, I
see. Now, look, I've paid my money. I feel I ought to be doing something for
Certainly should. I don't care what it is. I've paid my money and I demand
something for it. Right. How long have you got, madam? About ten minutes. All
right. Just sit down there, would you?
Hello, Miss Hotbottom. Could you come in and give Mr Dribble the full treatment,
please? There we are. Now, how do you like your hair? Short back inside with
the blow dry.
Good evening.
May I say at once, without further ado, how nice it is to speak to each and
every one of you.
No matter where you all may be, on land or sea or foam, whether climbing up
Mount Everest or kicking about at home, I broadcast you all tonight on BBC TV to
tell you of the creation of a brand new ministry.
Here, just a moment. I hear you cry.
Now, what's all this about? A minister of poetry? Good God, who let him out?
It's Margaret Thatcher's brainchild, this. Our venerable prime missus. I'll
you, if you'll all pin back your oral orifices.
Last Friday week, I left the House of Commons just on eight. The wife was out
bingo, so I knew that she'd be late.
I popped into the local. I was feeling rather frail. And there stood Maggie
Thatcher, with her foot up on the rail.
What are you having, Jack? She cried, her beady eyes aflame.
I'll have a pint of mild, I said. She said, I'll have the same.
Well, 17 pints later, God, how that girl can booze.
We sat on the embankment and she came out with the news.
For many years, she mumbled as she munched the crisps I'd bought her,
folding up the bag and chucking it in the water.
For many years, I've longed to see this ancient land of ours return to former
glories and the pubs to longer hours.
Those grand old days of Shakespeare when the folks all spoke in rhyme.
and the language wasn't full of swear words all the bleeding time.
How nice it must have been to hear a lilting line that lingers when the
to the foreman gave two verses, not two fingers.
If we could recreate the old world charm of this great nation, the voters would
forget the shrinking pound, ignore inflation, and you're the man, dear
said, who can that promise keep.
Romance is not yet dead. With that, she burped and fell asleep.
I covered her with newspaper and left her on the grass.
Looking every inch a lady and completely upper class.
In a powder blue ensemble with her hair all freshly done.
And across her chest, another chest from page three of the Sun.
And that is how the ministry was created overnight.
And now it's up to you, my friends, to see you do it right. Pray have no fear.
The task is not as hard as it might sound. For inside every Englishman, good
English rhymes abound. And each of you has at some time, I'm sure, as have we
all, inscribed a simple stanza on some bygone wash house wall.
So off you go. And don't forget, just like the old graffiti, keep it short and
keep it snappy, keep it fruity, keep it meaty.
So think of all the joys you'll cause when on a bus you leap at dawn one
morning when the world's still half asleep.
A single fare to Euston Square, you'll warble to the driver, the cost to me is
20p, and offer him a fiver.
As he looks for ยฃ4 .80 change, what gay thoughts fill his head?
With any luck, he'll hand you out a forklift instead.
The world can be a better place if each man does his best to choose his rhymes
to match the times. So get it off your chest. Beneath the old stiff upper lip,
the ancient fire still flickers. Come, fan the flames, and let us get the lead
out of our knickers.
Let onward, England, do your best.
Revive our former glories.
Let's raise our beers and give three cheers.
Good night, and up the Tories.
My daughter says I've got to buy the missus one of these brassieres for
Christmas.
Oh, is she making two puddings this year, then?
No, to wear.
Only trouble is, I don't know what size she is. How am I going to describe her
to the salesgirl?
Well, you'll just have to say she's like some everyday object, and she'll know.
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
But what shall I say?
Well, is she a melon?
Oh, she's not a melon.
A grapefruit?
No.
An orange?
No. Is she like an egg?
Oh, yeah, that's it, yeah.
An egg.
Freud.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Dorothy Brooks.
Let you know when things are going wrong.
I will try my best to be there when you need
me and give you strength when you need someone
strong.
I will paint your pretty picture with a song.
I'll
tell
you tales of life as I see it.
And I'll paint your...
picture with a star.
line is 2012.
England is in the grip of a new and terrifying regime. The country is being
by women.
Their secret beliefs are everywhere.
Men, downtrodden and subjugated, are forced to wear dresses and to have only
feminine lives.
Two such miserable individuals are Cartwright and Chalmers, known to their
friends as Janet and Betty.
Janet's illegal showing of male chauvinist films to the men's sewing
been discovered by a secret police spy.
And in a scuffle, Betty accidentally shoots her.
And our heroes are left with the grisly Tarth.
of concealing the body.
When Betty arrived home that night, his wife, Brian, was already in bed.
How's the sewing circle tonight, darling?
What? Oh, uh, fine, fine.
Usual sort of thing, you know.
Everybody's sewing things.
How's yours coming along?
What? The thing you're sewing.
Oh, oh, uh... Oh, fine, I've introduced it, actually. It's, uh... I've just got
to embroider around the neck, you know.
What, are you making a pair of French knickers?
Yes, if I am, yes. But they're reversible. You see, you can put your
through the leg holes and wear them as a ballroom.
Or upside down as French knickers.
Yes.
A bit drafty.
No,
French knickers.
Oh, drafty, yes.
Round the neck, yes.
Very sexy, though.
Yes.
Yes, don't do that, Brian. Not tonight. I've got a bit of a headache.
Hello?
Oh, hello, Janet.
Yeah. No, no, no, no. Brian's gone.
I got into a big row this morning.
I forgot to do our packed lunch.
Where are you coming from?
I'm in the commander's office.
So I'm risking my neck, old chap, because it's about the films.
We must bury them.
In the garden.
Oh, your garden.
Well, I've only got a window box and that's full of my radishes.
Hardly worth demolishing then to make room for Gone With The Wind.
Well, anyway, it's apt. That's not the problem.
I've got 37 films to get rid of before I'm caught red -handed and some
unfinished business in the auction rooms.
Gone, Mr. Thompson.
Next, lot 324, Victorian Oak Wardrobe with fitted drawer.
This one, ma 'am.
I'll bring the film down to the car this afternoon. I'm on early shift.
What about 2 .30?
Oh, and there's one other... What the hell do you think
you're doing?
I'm dusting the desk.
Sitting down?
Dusting the chair.
It's a new directive from the efficiency department.
Very good for the figure as well.
That will do.
I can use that method to dust my own chair just as efficiently, thank you.
More so.
You've got better equipment.
I'll be off then, ma 'am. Just a minute.
Name?
Uh, Julie.
Where is your identity badge?
Uh, in the wash, by mistake.
On my other penny.
Don't you know it's a punishable offence not to wear it?
Name.
Julie.
Julie Andrews.
Sounds familiar.
It probably is. My great -grandmother was very, very famous in show business.
Really? Yes.
Eamon Andrews.
You will report to this office at nine o 'clock on Monday when you will be
disciplined. Yes, ma 'am.
It won't take long, but I can assure you that you will not use that particular
method of dusting again for quite a long time.
Get out.
You all right, then? I've just split my knickers.
Pass me some more cans of film, then.
Ah,
what one's this, then?
Robin Hood.
Oh, Errol Flynn.
He's a real man's man.
Yes. Bit of a lady's man, too, I understand.
A lady's man, really.
I'd like to have seen him do The Three Musketeers. Yeah.
He played all the parts himself.
Come on, then, otherwise your wife will be ill.
That's a big hole.
Thank you, Daphne.
I thought you meant the split in my knickers.
Are you digging out for the wife?
No, I'm planting rhubarb.
Rhubarb? That far down?
Oh, yes, it's marvellous. You see, by the time it's grown up, you've got
six feet long.
I saw it on television, Penelope Thrower.
Listen, the butcher's got some lovely fillet in.
Thought you could surprise the wife tonight.
Yes, thanks very much, Daphne, old chap, but I don't really feel in the mood for
fun and games at the moment.
Ah, OK.
Just thought I'd mention it.
Cheerio.
Cheerio, Osborne.
Has he gone, then? Yes.
Come on, let's get cracking.
Hello,
cheeky.
I thought I knew that face.
Don't be so rude, you saucy monkey. Give me two pints and a flavoured yoghurt.
You're very late.
It's Friday.
I'm collecting the money.
Anyway, I left you till last day.
I thought I'd get a cup of tea and my legs up.
You'll get a slap round the face if you don't behave yourself. Now, go on off
with you. I'll pay you Monday. Go on.
Oh, well. No, I'll be trying.
Ta -ta, sunshine.
Oh, dear.
I thought you said you enjoyed complete privacy in this garden.
If I'd known, I'd have laid on some tea and cakes.
I know.
It's incredible, isn't it?
Who'll be next, I wonder?
Of course, you realise I'm going to have to report you, don't you, Betty?
Report me?
To the tape police? You can't. I must.
It's my duty as a woman.
I shall go on Monday.
But, Brian, I'm your husband, Betty.
Thirteen years we've been married. Doesn't that mean anything to you?
I mean, look at us on the wall there.
Thirteen years.
I'm lucky to sound.
That's a great help, isn't it?
I suppose you realise what they'll do to me.
I know what I'd like to do to you. You disgust me. Those disgraceful films. You
deserve all you get. Well, in that case, why wait till the money? Why not pick
up the phone now?
Simply because I need to have the use of you one more time.
The use of me?
I need a partner tomorrow night.
Oh, of course, I'd forgotten.
The annual staff dance.
My wife is going to report us to the secret police.
What?
You've got to get out. We're going to hide you. But before we do, we must get
hold of our identity files so they won't know who they're looking for. All
photographs will have to be destroyed. Look out.
Hello, Betty. May I have this dance?
Uh, not at the moment, thanks. My girdle's killing me.
Oh,
how about you, Janet? No, I'm afraid mine's being a small nuisance.
Come round to my place and I'll fix it for you.
Silly old trumpet.
How's your wife going to report us? I'll tell you later. There's no time now.
But the point is, those identity papers, now you work at the place, you've got a
path. You'll have to smuggle me in. Are you game?
There's no other way? No, no, no.
I know it sounds crazy trying to break into the Tower of London. For God's
Don't let anybody hear you call it by its own name.
Let's ease them, whatever you call it. It's going to be blasted difficult to
in there. All right, all right. Have it your own way, old boy. All right, then.
We're going to break into Barbara Castle.
Will Janet and Betty succeed in their desperate plan?
Or will the commander thwart it?
Will she herself be thwarted?
To find out who thwarts what and to whom, tune in next week to another
episode of The Worm That Turned.
Evening, Mr. Parson.
Evening, darling. Well, how's the beer? Flat as usual?
There was it, Mr. Parson. You'll have to mind your language in here from now on.
Look at you.
What's that swear box? That's a good idea.
Is it for charity? The church fund. 5p a time. Oh, you'll make a fortune out of
me. You're right there. You owe me 20p already.
20p? 25 now. Oh, all right. You got change for a win? You won't need much
if you carry on like this.
Oh, that's true, that's true. Two.
Right, I will.
Evening, all.
Evening, Joe.
Hello, Gilbert.
Oh, it's a bit... It's a bit... Fall of... No.
20p from you, Mr. Robbins. Yeah.
Swear box in here now. Don't worry. Have these on me.
That's a good idea.
With the church, 5p a time, see? Quite right, too, but Thomas not did something
from a... Church? Yeah, those a lot.
What will cost you 10p?
10? Well, you know, you told me that.
That's me. It's five people.
Then ten people.
I haven't made all this.
I'm standing here like a... I'm going to have a pint. I'm going to have a pint
of best beer, Dolly, I think. What are you going to have, Joe? I think I'll
five pence with a silver, please, Dolly. And I'm going to take this swear box.
I'm going to sit over here.
We'll have a decent civilised conversation.
Well, how's your love life then, Gilbert?
Non -existent, mate. Oh, not too grand.
I had an argument with a wife last Friday night about going to the dogs.
I said I was going anyway.
Get me round the table.
What are you doing here?
What did I do? I hit her back. That one will cost you a pound.
A pound?
It's getting a bit...
It's expensive in here.
She's making a... Good evening, Donny.
Oh, hello, Vicar. Good evening, gentlemen.
A double lemonade and water, please.
I say, the swear box looks mighty full.
Yeah, and Donny tells us all going to the church.
Yeah, that's a nice surprise for you, eh, Vicar? Surprise?
I'm the...
Give us a checkbook, you spotty -faced four -eyed git.
I beg your pardon, sir?
I think give us a checkbook, you spotty -faced four -eyed git.
Excuse me a moment, sir.
Yes, this man said, give me a checkbook, you spotty -faced four -eyed git.
How much money have you got in your account?
140 ,000 quid, mate.
Don't just stand there, you spotty -faced poor... Thank
you.
Thank you very much. And welcome to Ronnie Corbett trots out another old
Not the most...
scintillating of introductions, is it? But my original name for this spot was
going to be Ronnie Corbett Entertains.
He said that sounded more like a headline on News at Ten.
And I've probably done under the Trade Descriptions Act, which is the sort of
publicity I can afford.
Once again, I'm not, to be honest, exactly the flavour of the month here at
BBC. Thursday morning, I got an official summons up to the Director General's
office.
The DG Leisure Centre, as it's known.
He gets all the lavish treatment I could get. He's got this sumptuous set of
offices on the first floor.
Used to be on the second floor.
Then they moved it so he wouldn't have so far to reach for the lift button.
To be honest, I always get nervous going into switch offices, you know, because
with my height, I stand on thick carpet, you know.
my copy book on this occasion, I somewhat thoughtlessly barred straight
to find he was sitting there having lunch with the Prime Minister.
A bit embarrassing.
There she was, you know, just tucking into a bowl of tripe.
I said, I knew you'd eat your word sooner or later.
I don't know why I said that. Get a cheap laugh, I suppose.
No, not unnaturally things got off to a bit of a shaky start now after she'd
left the dj the dg rather the dg beckoned me the
dg beckoned me back in he said sit yourself down cornet
sit yourself down he said anywhere on the floor would be fine he said
then he sat there puffing away at his cigar for several minutes till he
got the wrapper off
I think he's a bit out of condition myself.
He leant back in this power -assisted swivel chair.
He said, the fact of the matter is, he said, Cornet, he said, these quips you
keep coming out with, I've been getting complaints.
That one you did last week, for instance, Barbara Woodhouse, can't be
tonight because she's gone down with distemper.
Frankly, he said, it's all a bit feeble, Cornet.
Now, either you buck your ideas up or you'll go straight back to where you
from.
As a roadie for the Tetley T -folk.
So, to make sure I'm in the clear this week, I've decided to
let the audience here in the studio choose the joke.
Now, they're all worrying now.
Thinking, what's the regard to that?
Can I be fairer than that? Now, any subject you like, I will tell a joke
Just shout out the second thing that comes into your head.
It's a family show. So entirely up. What would you like me to tell a joke about?
Two brothers who inherit two horses.
Did I hear somebody say?
So much for democracy.
If the Director General is watching, I know what he's thinking. He's thinking,
he told them to say that before he came on. The devious little liar.
Because he's like that, I'm afraid.
A good judge of character.
So here goes. These two brothers inherit these two horses.
I think we've just about established that.
Set the plot, haven't we? These two brothers inherit two horses.
That's six bloody horses they've inherited.
One of them says, right, he said, we've got these two horses.
He wasn't all that bright, this particular one.
Right, so we've got these two horses. I say we split them down the middle.
Metaphorically speaking, that is, because we're not in the hamburger game.
the other brother says, yeah, so we'll divide them equally between us.
He's a damn sight thicker than his brother.
So we divide the two horses equally. So that means you'll have one and I'll
have, um...
And I'll have the other one.
Sounds like a meeting at the Treasury, doesn't it?
How do you take each horse? They have faced the problem of how to recognise
which one is which, you see. One of them has a bright eye. He says, I know. He
says, I know.
I wasn't bright there for the moment.
He said, I know. He said, I'll dock my horse's tail.
Then we'll know which one's yours, which one's mine.
So they do this. The following morning, they find that some practical joker has
gone and docked the other horse's tail as well. So they're both.
Horses have got dog tails. Then they have another idea.
Two in one week.
Bit of a record. Anyway, one of the brothers nicks a little bit out of the
horse's ear.
Brilliant, says the brother.
Now, we definitely know which one's which. Of course, the next morning, some
prankster's been at work again and nicked the other horse's ear as well. So
two brothers have to think about it. Then one of them solves it. He says, I
know, he says.
He says, I've got it, he says.
You have the black one, I'll have the white one.
What seems to be the trouble?
Oh, doctor, I'm not ill.
Lady Frampton phoned me and said, come at once, Sarah's not well.
Oh, I'm all right. But she owes me six weeks' wages. And I'm not getting out of
bed till she pays me.
She hasn't paid me for the last eight visits I've made to her.
Move over.
holiday plan.
Took a drink with a very nice man.
Woke up here on a lumpy divan. In the Sultan's army.
Left port side in a fabulous car.
Stopped for tea in a penny bazaar. Woke up here in a C &A
bra. With the Sultan.
Rosie passed the Ruby Gate.
Traveled in the winter rain.
Started off to see the palm trees.
Ended up as two stone days.
Left our boyfriends Tom and Dick.
Back at home in Hampton Ridge.
Dickie's in the territorial.
Tommy's in the local nick.
I've got jewels and a gem that's rare.
I've got Diamante in my hair.
I've got tassels on my derriere.
And I've got a garter, but I won't stay where.
I wear a tatter, and I wear a gauze. I look glamorous in pink plus fours. In
desert when the night wind gnaws, you can't beat flannel for your winter
drawers.
I can sing as smooth as silk. I get barfing at this milk.
I'm the blend of gentle
rains, Jasmine nutmeg, gin and drain.
He gave so many of us overpray to their wishes. I'm flaunting my charms beneath
the palms of fluttery eyes like Libby and Gish. Turkish delights and Friday
nights. I'm done up in Taffeta looking delicious.
Well, that was my fantasy till I began to see all I was getting was washing the
dishes. I'm stuck in the sink in silky pink. I'm smothered in suds. A stone me
as a rubber. I'm scrubbing the floors. I do the chores. There's never a pause.
I'm ready to blubber. There's never a chance of wild romance. They pay me in
washers and call me a scrubber. Sultan Sultana, a little banana.
No break.
Dusty gents in very romantic faraway places. Floating me charms beneath the
palms. Sail or return on similar bases.
Turkey's delights on Friday nights.
Me and me see -through, him and his braces. Give us a perky, but turkey's a
turkey. It's no break.
He's a eunuch.
He's a eunuch.
He's lofty, you'll agree, for he's over six foot three, but he's just a wee bit
short for me.
Hey, now, he's the spotter man, in the on and off the man, with bunions on my
bottom, and a coat upon my chest, putting on the classy ass.
Dogs like Shirley Bassey wears.
Underneath our brassy ears, we've got a woolly vest.
See me do my belly dance like a lemon jelly dance.
Several points for elegance, 93 for pluck.
Do your belly dance, you shimmy like an elephant. They call it a parelli dance,
a spare tyre run amok.
But a dance that never failed A masterpiece they rank it
I've got seven veils And I've an army
blanket Trapped in Turkey by a
train For our loved ones sad and sick
How I miss my darling For me, and how
I miss my Hampton wig.
Stop inside the Sultan's horse.
Just a pair of indoor shorts.
Rose of 47 suns.

Well, that's about all we have time for tonight, but before we go, a few late

So it's good night from me. And it's good night from him. Good night.
