The Knicker Elastic King |
| He used to travel in bath cubes |
| until the slump came |
| Faced with redundancy |
| he turned his mind to other things |
| and soon became a household name |
| Knicker Elastic — everybody used it |
| Knicker Elastic — nobody refused it |
| The Knicker Elastic King |
| The Knicker Elastic King |
| A self-made man with a business to run |
| A something to sell — to everyone |
| The Knicker Elastic King |
| He grew so rich the Gnomes of Zurich |
| were green with envy |
| The darling of the Stock Exchange |
| made the New Year’s Honours List |
| and won the Queen’s Award to Industry |
| Knicker Elastic — essence of propriety |
| Knicker Elastic — upholder of society |
| The Knicker Elastic King |
| Ooh la la… |
| His rubber business kept expanding |
| but then disaster… |
| Ee bah gum! |
| The price of raw materials |
| coupled with inflation |
| squeezed his global holdings |
| his liquid assets bottomed out |
| and shrunk his retail outlet operation |
| .And that’s the story of The Knicker Elastic King… |
| and market forces |
| The Knicker Elastic King… |
| 'Horses for courses' |
| A self-made man with a business to run |
| And something to sell — to everyone |
| The Knicker Elastic King |
| Ooh la la… |
| The Knicker Elastic King |
