John Cooper Clarke - Bongo's Trousers lyrics
Your rating:
Who stole Bongo's trousers? And his ten-gallon stetson hat He can't save the fucking planet Improperly dressed like that Who stole Bongo's trousers? Can he get'em back He's tryin to save the fuckin' planet (OTHER VERSION: To do some good in the world) That's no way to act Who stole Bongo's trousers? Was it Posh or Beck? He can't admire the fucking pope Without his fucking keks World politics is a tough enough gig Without this kind of shit He'll give you some other stuff If you give him back his kit Yes who stole that stetson hat Who stole those leather strides And those Vegas-period Elvis shades With the gold meccano sides Trousers shades Eighty-pint Stetson Can he have them back? He's cutting a deal about third-world debt (... and poverty and that) Please cut him some slack He does not have to care so much He's alright as he is It's rare to find such selflessness Especially in The Biz Who stole Bongo's trousers? They must be fucking sick Was it some sinister cunt Or who was that chick? She said her name was Bernadette But then she would say that Anything to get those trousers Sunglasses and hat Who stole Bongo's trousers? And his million-dollar shades? Was it the CIA Or the middle-european chambermaids (OTHER VERSION: he says filippino chambermaids) Whoever stole Bongo's trousers The wraparounds an' hat Deserves to get their fingers' broke And that's the end of that I'd kick them up the holiday money (OTHER VERSION:I'd send in the UN troops... all systems go) Should they ever show up Coz Bongo minus trousers I would not want to know (OTHER VERSION: Equals: I don't wanna know)
