Dead Finks Don't Talk |
Oh cheeky cheeky |
Oh naughty sneaky |
You’re so perceptive and I wonder how you knew |
But these finks don’t walk too well |
A bad sense of direction |
And so they stumble round in threes |
Such a strange collection |
Oh you headless chicken |
Can those poor teeth take so much kicking? |
You’re always so charming |
As you peck your way up there |
And these finks don’t dress too well |
No discrimination |
To be a zombie all the time |
Requires such dedication |
Oh please sir, will you let it go by |
'Cos I failed both tests with my legs both tied |
In my place the stuff is all there |
I’ve been ever so sad for a very long time |
My my they wanted the works, can you this and that |
I never got a letter back |
More fool me, bless my soul |
More fool me, bless my soul |
Oh perfect masters |
They thrive on disasters |
They all look so harmless |
Till they find their way up here |
But dead finks don’t talk too well |
They’ve got a shaky sense of diction |
It’s not so much a living hell |
It’s just a dying fiction |
