The Tattooed Lady (Paddy Roberts) Oh, I was a bit of a lad, I admit, my past was a trifle shady, until in the end I went right 'round the bend, And married a tattooed lady. I immediately saw there were pictures galore 'round ev'ry available corner. As I studied her frame very soon I became an expert in flora and fauna. On the back of each knee was a small chimpanzee. On her thigh was a knight of the garter. And just for a laugh, they had put on her calf eight bars of the Moonlight Sonata. One evening I found as I (ambled, wandered) around I was feeling an absolute charlie For I couldn't be sure if the sketch on her jaw was Picasso or Salvador Dali. Some things I found out, I just won't talk about, I find it's inclined to embarrass, But I give you my word, though it may sound absurd, It was just like the Louvre in Paris. On one of her feet you were liable to meet A master of hounds in his habit And right 'round her waist, in impeccable taste Was a python devouring a rabbit! I loved all the ships on one side of her hips, the view in Peru on the other, but I was struck dumb when I found on her 'tum' a caricature of her mother! For this was much more than a man could endure Though I made the most earnest endeavour So I scuttled away, and I'm happy to say It was ta-ta tattoo, forever. Ta-ta, tattoo, forever. Ta-ta tattoo, (2 bar run) forever! |
