Shirt Lyrics - Tadpoles - Bonzo Dog Band

Hello, well that was the sound of Rogers Wah Wah Rabbits 

You heard them eating endive there 

Thats very cheap at this time of the year 

But now here in Willesden Green, yes, brr, its a bit chilly 

But no matter, because here comes a gentleman 

And were going to talk to him about shirts 

Excuse me, sir 

Would you mind talking to us about shirts? 

Do what? About shirts, shirts? Yes 

Cause Ive got plenty at home, good grief 

And here comes a lady with an enchanting little kangaroo 

And Im going to ask her something about shirts 

No, Im not because shes given me a rather a vulgar sign 

Would you excuse me, would you mind, were talking about shirts? 

Huh? About shirts, shirts? Yes, the problem of shirts 

The kind of, um, you know, are they necessary? Shirts 

Where it is, where it is, yes, where is shirts? 

I dont know, you dont know 

Um, oh dear, theres a gentleman marching down here with 

A very determined stride, he looks a little cautious, hes hopping 

Excuse me, sir, would you mind talking to me for a moment at all? 

Uh, uh, what do you mean, guvnor? What do you want to know? 

Well, were talking about shirts, about are they still necessary? 

Do you think? I mean, do you think they should 

They stop making shirts? Oh, no, not at all, a mans not Dr 

Not dressed unless hes got a nice shirt on, governor, is he? 

Not really, I suppose, what about the lengths of the shirt? 

Because the old ones used to be very long 

Well, Im more for the short shirt, the old types old-fashioned, mate 

Gotta be a bit modern these days, governor, aint yer? Yes 

Well, youre certain with it, anyway? 

Well, youve got to be with it, of course. Its, uh 

Yes, right, okay, well, thank you very much 

See you, right, ho, bye, bye, bye, bye 

Well, I think were going to have to leave it there 

And Im going to take you right away straight over 

To the Earls Court Olympia to watch the shirt event 

Ill repeat that, the shirt event, Ill repeat that 

The shirt event, Ill repeat that, the shirt event 

Ill repeat that, the shirt event 

Good morning, could I have 

This shirt cleaned express, please? 

Yes, thatll be three weeks, dearie, three weeks? 

But the sign outside says 59-minute cleaners 

Yes, thats just the name of the shop, luv 

We take three weeks to do a shirt 

Just the name of the shop? 

Yes, thats if theres an R in the month 

Otherwise its four weeks 

Your name does begin with a P, doesnt it? 

Well, no, actually, of course its, uh 

Well, thatll be five weeks, then, five weeks? Blimey 

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin the shirt 

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin the shirt 

Well, theyre shakin my shirt all over the place 

But its been thrown right back in my face 

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin the shirt 

New horizons in sound now as Roger 

Plays a solo on the electric shirt collar 

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin the shirt 

Shirt, shirt, shirt, shakin the shirt
