Note: this is not mine, I found it on an internet forum, if you tabbed it a) thanks b)
sorry c) your an idiot to post it on a forum and not expect it to be shared about a bit. Thanks!
(A) E/G#
Obviously I don't want to infer that being invited onto Friday Night with Wossy
isn't wonderfully affirming,F#m and I know I Eoughta
Aappreciate the risk you took, the bookers who agreed to book
E/G# F#m
aE chap who tends to talk about the kinda things that get the BBC in hot water.
And I A6don't want to seem greedy, I'm just saying
(E)
I'd like to be here every week if that's OK.
Fo7(or E7b9/F)
And, if you'll hear me out, I think I've got a way
in which F#mwe could do it Epretty easiDly.
You can leave all the boring details to Eme.
A6* Eadd2/A* F#m/A*
It's a brilliant idea, a truly original concept.
A6* Eadd2/A* E/B
No one in Britain has ever done anything like it yet.
Picture this - imagine if we had
(A) E/G# F#m E D
five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it's a wicked idea.
Why Asettle for a quartet of E/G#queers
When there's a D/F#possibility of a Epenta-poofter-piano-posse here?
(A) E/G# F#m E D
Five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it'll be ace:
a Ahundred percent more piaE/G#nos and twenty five perDcent more Agays.
Pickup: E F# G#
(A)
I know, I know, I've seen the problem too.
(E/A)
There's a rumour I am straight, it's true.
(D/A) Dm
It hurts to admit it, but I'm about as bent
as Wossy himself or DmFiddy Cent.
(A)
But I've already thought it through.
(E/A)
D'you know there's preachers in America who reckon they can do
sexuDality conversions. I've heard them assert
they can D7cure a man of trouser love and turn him onto skirt.
Well I E7don't see why they couldn't pull the same trick in reverse, and we'd have -
(A) E/G# F#m E D
five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it's a revolution
and Aprobably the best soE/G#lution
to the problem you're Dinevitably having with an Eeven number of homosexuals.
Pickup: E F# G#
(A)
Yes I know your producers might suspect
(E/A)
that the licence-paying public will object
(D/A) D
to the Corporation having yet
another homoDmsexual to pay.
(A)
The Daily Mail will bring the big guns out.
(E/A)
Jan Moir will be frothing at the mouth,
(D/A)
writing further brilliant stuff about
(Dm) E
the myth about being both happy and gay.
F#m F#m/A F#m/C#
But all that moral indignation
will D/F#disappear when they seeA/E
those Dfour lovely guys and Ame
Bmsinging in perfect harEmony.
F#m/A
And all those angry letter writers,
likeD/A 'Disgusted' from the Isle of Wight
F#m/A
and 'Mad' from Hull and 'Outraged' from Leeds
E E7 Fo7
and 'Slightly Annoyed' from Berwick on Tweed,
will F#minstantly Echange their Dtune.
They'll be Ableeding-heart liberals by ESaturday noon.
They'll be Dgiving their grandchildren up for adoption
E E7 Fo7
in the hope that a gay married couple will adopt 'em.
They'll be Fputting rainbow stickers on their cars,
G E (Bass line - A
E F E G A)
and cutting holes in the arse of their leather strides.
And watching 2 pianos and 5 guys
Watching 2 pianos and 5 guys
G (picks up on the G in the bass line)
Watching 2 pianos and five ..1, 2 ,3, 4,
(C) G/B Am G F
5 poofs and 2 pianos - yeah, it'll be grand.
You can Cnever have too many G/Bpianos or Ftoo much Cman.
(C) G/B Am F
5 poofs and 2 pianos - maybe we could out Jamie Cullum.
GMake it a trio of pianos and a Fbig gay half Cdozen.
