lyrics

The Meat in the Sandwich
You bought it from a shop
where even the flies don’t stop.
It looked a bit strange
but you ate it just the same.
It tastes so terribly nice,
but maybe you should think twice.
It’s tender and juicy a bit like chicken
with a taste you just cannot place.

The meat in the sandwich,
the meat in the sandwich,
the meat in the sandwich
is a monkey.

He’s no longer swinging through the trees,
he’s being served on a bap with cheese.
An organ grinder will cry himself to sleep tonight.
You’ve eaten his partner.

The thought you cannot erase
of his fury little face.
But he’s so juicy with lettuce and cucumber,
a tasty primatey treat.

The meat in the sandwich,
the meat in the sandwich,
the meat in the sandwich
is a monkey.

His tiny waistcoat is packed away,
he’s on the menu with soup of the day.
An organ grinder will cry himself to sleep tonight.
You’ve eaten his partner.
You’ve eaten his partner.
You’ve eaten his partner.

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa,
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa.

Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers Leeds, UK

From time immemorial these musicians have stood at the gateway of nonsense begging peanuts. Spending most of their time trapped in force fields and vortices, occasionally they are released to stalk the streets of Leeds. On such occasions you might hear the plaintive cry of Sam’s tuba, the mournful crow of Dean’s ukulele, the excited jazzy croaking of Bob’s piano or the purr of Matty’s drums. ... more
