CUSTARD CREAMS (Les Barker, music by Tchaikovsky) Those midnight snacks bring what you always dread; Crumbs in your blanket and your feather bed; Crumbs without number Keep you from slumber; Yield up the night time to old custard creams. Yield up the night time to old custard creams. The late night sandwhich and the giger nut Stick in your shoulder;lie underfoot, Huntley and Palmer There is no armour Yield up the darkness to old custard creams Yield up the darkness to old custard creams Barm cakes and biscuits;whole loaves of bread Mate on your mattress;breed in your bed One million croutons All on one futon And down your duvet there's old custard creams And down your duvet there's old custard creams I think I know now why my mother said That gentlemen dont take tarts to bed And when you're restive Blame the digestive You'll find no comfort with old custard creams You'll find no comfort with old custard creams Dont forget to credit Les Barker for the words and P I Tchaik for the tune |

Theres another parody written by Johnny Moynihan (em member of Sweeney's Men, Planxty, De Dannan and the Fleadh Cowboy's to name but a few) called John O' Gods - which is about a former folk singer who ends up hitting the drink hard and having to go to John Of Gods which is a place in Dublin which treats alcoholics and other assorted addicts. I don't have the words but hopefully someone else out there will have them. |

01 Nov 02 - 08:24 AM (#815856) Subject: ADD Ron of Dreams (Les Barker) From: Leadfingers I dont know wether it is better to combine the two or not.I thought if they were seperate and someone only wanted one set of lyrics it would be easier this way. RON OF DREAMS (Les Barker) When midnight comes good people homewards tread They dont see me they all see John instead I'm just the other less famous brother Turn out your light i'm only Ron of Dreams Turn out your light I'm only Ron of Dreams Across the hills the sun has gone astray The world's ignored me just like Yesterday He's got charisma,He's John I isna Here in the darkness you'll find Ron of Dreams Here in the darkness you'll find Ron of Dreams Both man and master in the night are one All things are equal except maybe Ron The prince and the ploughman,the slave and the free man All take no notice of old Ron of Dreams All take no notice of old Ron of Dreams My brother John is all they ever see That bastard Caddick never noticed me Him and Tchaikovsky,they wrote me offski They said,I quote:"Man who's old Ron of Dreams?" They said I quote:"Man who's old Ron of Dreams?" This is from 'Vicent Van Dogh' |
