Families

Families, families, families x 5

The whole world’s made up of families

But when all is said and done

Families are not much fun

Yes, yes, oh yes,

We don’t want to change them

Just to rearrange them

So that they are more like us!

We’d rather fight the battle of Ramillies

Tell the head the meaning of anomalies

Or stand beneath the sword of old Damocles

Than live in dysfunctional families

Families, families, families x 4

Spoken

Husband and wife, trouble and strife

Mum and dad, both mad

Uncles and aunts, dumber than plants

Sister or brother who’d want another?

Biting fleas, solicitor’s fees

Hard green peas, singing bees

Arthritic knees, broken keys

Very rough seas, after lunch quease

We prefer these to families

Families, families, families x 5

The whole world’s made up of families

But when all is said and done

Families are not much fun

Yes, yes, oh yes,

We don’t want to change them

Just to rearrange them

So that they are more like us!

We’d rather fight the battle of Ramillies

Tell the head the meaning of anomalies

Or stand beneath the sword of old Damocles

Than live in dysfunctional families

Families, families, families x 4

Namaste

Namaste, namaste, namaste

In Nepal, that’s what they all say

As they meet on their feet in the street

With bowed heads and praying hands they repeat

Namaste, namaste, namaste

It’s not just ‘hello, are you well?’

But ‘I bow to you’

We can tell by this greeting

That we two are one,

Creatures of love both warmed by the sun

Namaste, namaste, namaste

In Nepal, that’s what they all say

As they meet on their feet in the street

With bowed heads and praying hands they repeat

Namaste, namaste, namaste

I honour the place deep inside

Where both you and I reside

Where love is safe with peace and truth

Where you are me and I can be you

Namaste, namaste, namaste

In Nepal, that’s what they all say

As they meet on their feet in the street

With bowed heads and praying hands they repeat

Namaste, namaste, namaste

Ghosts and Ghouls

I’m scared inside, I’m petrified x 8

Today I need to eat my prey

Today we make the hunters pay

I’m scared inside, I’m petrified x 4

OH why did we so foolishly annoy our monkey boy? x 4

Voice 2 We need him now x 4

Voice 1 right now and how

we’ve been such fools

we’re food for ghouls

RIGHT NOW AND HOW!!!!

We NEED rescue from gnashing jaws

From skewering and razor claws

We NEED rescue from arms that grip

We NEED rescue from teeth that rip

We NEED rescue from gnashing jaws

From skewering and razor claws

We NEED rescue from arms that grip

We NEED rescue from teeth that rip

I’m scared inside, I’m petrified x 4

We are in need of a good feed

We’d love to eat some warm red meat

We’re on the look in every nook

For poor lost souls to cook

And now we hear men cry in fear

Pursue that sound till they are found

OH why did we so foolishly annoy our monkey boy? x 4

Song of the Kukri

I’ll catch you, I’ll chop you – too slow x4

You can’t run for ever,

You monstrous mouldy ape

How dare you swap the covers

Your uncles won’t escape

I’ll catch you I’ll chop you

I’ll cook you in a pie

Just wait until I catch you

YOU WILL DIE!!

Flying like the wind

Blowing through the trees

Swiftly like a bird

You won’t catch me

I’m too quick for you

You know that is true

I am monkey boy

And I AM FREE!!!!

I’ll catch you, I’ll chop you – too slow x4

You can’t run for ever

Running through the trees

How dare you swap the covers

You won’t go free

I’ll catch you I’ll chop you

I’ll cook you in a pie

Just wait until I catch you

YOU WILL DIE!!!

Flying like the wind

Blowing through the trees

Swiftly like a bird

You won’t catch me

I’m too quick for you

You know that is true

I am monkey boy

And I AM FREE!!!!

I’ll catch you, I’ll chop you – too slow x4

Triumph

YEAH!!! X 6

We killed the witch, we killed the witch YEAH!!! X 3

Thank you, Monkey Boy!

We killed the witch, we killed the witch YEAH!!! X 3

Thank you, Monkey Boy!

You’re so brave you’re so fearless

Led us lost from the forest cheerless

Saved us from the lakhe’s wrath

Found us shelter bed and broth

You’re so cunning you’re so clever

You’re the greatest nephew ever

Swapped the sheets and gave us life

Kept us safe from the WITCH’S KNIFE!

We killed the witch, we killed the witch YEAH!!! X 3

Thank you, Monkey Boy!

We killed the witch, we killed the witch YEAH!!! X 3

Thank you, Monkey Boy!

You’re so brave you’re so good

Risked your life in trackless wood

To lead the witch to certain death

As falling branch crushed her last breath

You’re so thoughtful you’re so kind

More generous boy we could not find

Gave us mangoes then made us rich

With the hoard of that old witch

YEAH!!! X 4
