FOOD FOR THOUGHT

'Half a pound of bananas for a pound' 
he sez

So I sez to 'im 
'This banana's black,
AND it's got a hole in the middle,
an' not only that, 
it's round and flat 'n all'

'What's the matter?' he sez
'Ain't you never seen 
a round, flat banana 
with a hole in the middle before?

Government subsidized, they are, 
high protein, free range, 
black plastic bananas,
broken all records, quite a few teeth,
AND one or two cassettes on the quiet.

Tell you what!' he sez loudly:
'Take this record of: 
Yes we have no bananas,
Half a pound of tuppeny rice,
Half a pound of treacle,
AND 200 Green Stamps,
Then lets be seeing 
the back-to-front of you'

Well, 
you should have seen the nasty mess
it made of the turntable,
never did find the needle to this day

I tell yer, 
funny shape for a record too,
more like a banana I'd say,
know what I mean?

Wad-a-mean, wad-a-mean, 
wad-a-mean, wad-a-mean
wad-a-mean, wad-a-mean, 
wad-a-mean, wad-a-mean
