In the world of Art, 'Twas quite a shock,
The sculpture that they thought displayed ,was not.
For the judges ruled the artist had made two,
and they had chosen the one they wanted to.
   Oh, yes, the laughing head it was quite good,
   But they displayed the plinth on which it stood!

   Chorus:
   With the 'ead tucked in a storeroom tight,
   the piece of wood was shown,
   With the 'ead tucked in a storeroom tight,
   on the opening night!
