It's just a joke


Went to see Napalm Death last night. Interesting, cos I think I may have got an entire issue of YAZ out of that gig. Weird, things just hit me. May have been the drink. Anyway, one of those things was when the 4 dudes walked in with their complete ensemble. Baggy pants to the extreme. Wallet chains. The works. I nearly didn’t snigger. Honest. But it inspired me to write the following. You have to sing it to the tune of the Vandals I’ve got an ape drape”, which is a homage(!) to the mullet. Oh, and if you take offence, well sorry. Get a sense of humour. And put the fence back, someone may miss it.

I've got a wallet chain haven't you
It’s clinking and it’s clanking I’m caged in a zoo
Attached to my essentials to impress you
I’ve got a wallet chain haven't you
I've got baggy pants haven't you
They're swinging round my ankles for a better view
They're what my brother didn't hand down to you
Cos I've got baggy pants haven't you
I can do the windmill why don't you
We're swinging our arms to scare you
Dancing like a homeboy or a dude
Cos I can do the windmill why don't you
I come from LA honest mate
I've never lived in Scarborough or Margate
I talk like da boys cos it sounds great
And cos I come from LA, honest mate
Stop taking the piss Dave look at you
You're a left over from the 80s brew
Ought to get your haircut to a crew
Stop taking the piss Dave and look at you

“Thanyouver much. You guys fuckin’ rawwwwk!”

I am available to struggling musicians looking for that higher level of lyric!
