GUEST,Bainbo Lyr Req: There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastard (17) Lyr Add: THERE AIN'T HALF BEEN SOME CLEVER BASTARD 02 Feb 07


The late, great Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Saw them once, back in the mid-70s. What a showman! Off the top of my head:

"Noel Coward was a charmer
As a writer he was brahma
velvet jacket and pyjamas
The Gay Divorce and other dramas

Van Gogh did some eyeball-pleasers
He must have been a pencil-squeezer
He didn't do the Mona Lisa -
That was an Italian geezer

Einstein can't get classed as witless
He claimed atoms were the littlest
When he did a bit of splittingness
Frightened everybody shitless

CHORUS:
(four times)
There ain't half been some clever bastards (lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
