When a fairy was enchanting and dressing up and camping Was something you did with the Scouts? That innocent age when an urgent case of aids Was powdered milk we sent to the Sahara. A fruit was something nice to eat, a poof was something for your feet And a queen was an old tart in a tiara. Chorus: 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 tiswoggled, tronged and longed and gollywobbled And we've strangled, frangled, mangled and abused it. Ah, those halcyon times when a bong meant a chime And a buzz was a noise insecticidal A joint meant 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 From your mumsy-wumsy when you had been naughty. The years have gone, I'm afraid, when only eggs got laid, And only the rhinosaurus got horny. Only kangaroos jumped and only camels humped Getting stuffed meant a little taxidermy. Swnging was for trapeezes or Tarzan's chimpanzeses Tossing off was something Scotsmen did with cabers. Now it means something quite obscene while a heavy ugly scene Is any movie starring Arnold Schwartzenegger. Coda: They're only words, and words are what we use, When we've got sod-all to say.
