TALKIN' BLUES (WHAT'S IN A NAME)
(Billy Connolly)

I'm tellin' you people I've got problems on my mind
Something that's been bugging me for quite some time
As I wander through the world just lookin' for fame
The question keeps cropping up, "What's in a name...
Like Elvis, Engelbert, Bamber Gascoigne?"

(I used to think that was a disease
Oh I'm sorry I didn't come to school yesterday, Miss
I was in bed with a bad attack of that Bamber Gascoigne
I got up 5 times to the lavvy, and that was my starter for 10!)

I knew a young couple once, name was McCann
Gave birth to a baby, a fine young man
Then they went to get him christened in the church in the lane
The priest nearly fainted when he heard the baby's name
He said, "Wha!"
They said, "Genghis."
He said, "Ah, Jesus Christ!" (They're always saying that.)

Now life's pretty hard as an ordinary man,
But it must get pretty hellish as Genghis McCann.
Just wandering through the world looking for a friend
Luckily he found one in the end
He's a nutcase. From Aberdeen. Called Napoleon Bonacord Smith.

Well the two got to talkin' 'bout trouble and strife
And how they'd been laughed at all of their lives
Then like Napoleon and Genghis did in days of yore
They rode home on horseback and evened up the score
With rifles, bayonets, screw-tops and swear words

So if you get yourself a baby and you're looking for a name
Remember what I told ya' cause you might end up the same
You might get yourself in trouble it's plain to see
Every word's true you can count on me
