My Pink Half of the Drainpipe Lyrics


You who speak to me across the fence
Of common sense
How your tomato plant will win a prize,
won't that be nice,
And by the way, how's your wife?
Your holidays were spent in Spain
You went by train
You'll go againHave you seen me bullfight poster on the wall?
Do you know the appy memory it recalls?
Here's a photograph of me and my son, Ted
That's me cousin with his hanky on his head!
We booked in at our otel just after two
And met a family from Bradford that we knewOooh, a melody! Burp!My pink half of the drainpipe
Separates next door from me
My pink half of the drainpipe
Oh, Mama!
Belongs to meRodney's vain saxaphone solo, as promisedMy pink half of the drainpipe
Semi-detach-ed, ah!

My pink half of the drainpipe
Oh, Mama!
Belongs to moiI have a sister in Toronto who's a nurse
And I've had a bit of bother laying turf
It's life, not books, that taught me all I've learned
Woop, in the b'oven my rice pudding's getting burned!
Ere, have you seen the new attachment on me drill?
I must have the cat put down, cause he's illHey, neighbour!My pink half of the drainpipe
I may paint it blue
My pink half of the drainpipe
Keeps me safe from
you!I'm a wobbly jelly, you're a pink blancmange
I'm a sherry trifle, you're a chocolate sponge
Your dad wears a paper hat, mine inflates balloons
Whoops! Boodly boop! Pop! Here comes a spoon!My pink half of the drainpipe
Separates me from the incredibly fascinating story of your life and
every day to day event in all it's minute and tedious attention to
detail... And was it a Thursday or a Wednesday? Or, oh, no, it wasn't though. Oh,
who cares anyway because I do not so Norman, if you're normal, I intend to
be a freak for the rest of my life, and I shall baffle you with cabbages
and rhinoceroses in the kitchen incessant quotations from "Now We Are
Six" through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric
head.

The Bonzo Dog Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, amongst several other names) are a satirical rock band which formed in 1962 in London, England. The band's original lineup consisted of Vivian Stanshall (1943–1995; vocals, trumpet), Neil Innes (vocals, guitar, piano), Rodney Desborough Slater (saxophone), Roger Ruskin Spear (multiple instruments) and 'Legs' Larry Smith (drums). The band became well-known in the United Kingdom as the house band for the ITV sketch comedy series "Do Not Adjust Your Set" and their appearance in The Beatles' 1967 film "Magical Mystery Tour".

The band's only appearance on the UK Singles Charts was "I'm the Urban Spaceman", which reached #5 in October 1968. The single was produced by Paul McCartney under the pseudonym "Apollo C. Vermouth". The band disbanded in 1970. The band reunited briefly in 1972 and again in 1988, before reuniting permanently in 2002.

After the initial split, Innes provided songs for "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and the Monty Python troupe's subsequent films, and is often considered to be an "unofficial member" of the troupe. Stanshall died in a house fire in 1995.

The band's six albums are: "Gorilla" (1967), "The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse" (1968, released as "Urban Spaceman" in the US), "Tadpoles" (1969), "Keynsham" (1969), "Let's Make Up and Be Friendly" (1972) and "Pour l'Amour des Chiens" (2007).
