Silly Slang Song

Do you remember the day when, if you said that you were gay, it meant with joy you could sing and shout? A fairy was enchanting and dressing up and camping was something you did with the scouts. That carefree age when an urgent case of aids was powdered milk we sent to the Sahara. A fruit was something nice to eat, a pouf was something for your feet, and a queen was an old tart in a tiara. Ah, look what we’ve done to the old mother tongue, it’s a crime the way we’ve misused it. It’s been totally dis modeled, pulverized and golly wobbled, and we’ve strangled, frangled, mangled and abused it. Ah, those far off times when a bong meant a chime, and a buzz was a noise insecticidal. A joint was something between bones, and getting really stoned only happened to bad people in the Bible. When, if you had a bad trip, it meant you fell and broke your hip Cold turkey just meant Christmas at aunt Dottie’s Coke was something that you burned, smack was something that you earned On your bumzie from your mumzie when you had been naughty. Ah, look what we’ve done to the old mother tongue, it’s a crime the way we’ve misused it. It’s been totally dis modeled, pulverized and golly wobbled, and we’ve strangled, frangled, mangled and abused it. Oh the times they have changed, when only eggs got laid, and only the rhinoceros got horny. Only kangaroos jumped and only camels humped, getting stuffed meant a little taxidermy. Swinging was for trapezes or Tarzan’s chimpanzees. Tossing off was something Scotland did with cabers. Now i dont know what that means But any ugly scene is any movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ah, look what we’ve done to the old mother tongue, it’s a crime the way we’ve misused it. It’s been totally dis modeled, pulverized and golly wobbled, and we’ve strangled, frangled, mangled and abused it. Its only words, and words are all we have when we’ve got feck all to say.
