Jimmy Hoffa once was her idol,
when he was still young and vital.
Once a hope for the pickets,
He's now food for the crickets.
Where the Giants contest for the title.

In New York City the fans still pray,
and often speak of the day.

But I'm from Australia
And its cold and wet he-re
So I'll say goodbye and good day
I've just had to pay a parking fee
Today has not been good to me
I've just had to pay a parking fee
Today has not been good to me
That damn SUV
Was not left there by me
(Is it okay to rhyme all with "ee"?)
No it's not, you damned idle thick sod
No it's not, you damned idle thick sod
And please put down your fishing rod
You stand in the water
Though you know that you oughta
Not catch that poor little cod
So why not go out for a walk
So why not go out for a walk
No, let's have a nice little talk
While in here I'll tell you
Stories from the bayou
Or even from far Maroc...
Traveling around is a pleasure
Travelling around is a pleasure
And it is what I do with my leisure.
Paris to Paraguay
Samarkand to Shanghai
Travelling around is a pleasure
And it is what I do with my leisure.
Paris to Paraguay
Samarkand to Shanghai --
These are all moments to treasure.
But now we're off to Damscus.
Why or wherefore, don't ask us.
But now we're off to Damascus.
Why or wherefore, don't ask us.
It's a fair old schlep-o
To ancient Aleppo,
But now we're off to Damascus.
Why or wherefore, don't ask us.
It's a fair old schlep-o
To ancient Aleppo,
But once there, in the sun we will bask us
Textiles in Damascus are sumptious
Textiles in Damascus are sumptuous.
The market are wild and rambunctious
Bargain for price
count your change twice
Textiles in Damascus are sumptuous.
The market are wild and rambunctious
Bargain for price
count your change twice
The salesmen are devious and unctuous.
I'm not going to buy me a carpet
Textiles in Damascus are sumptuous.
The market are wild and rambunctious
Bargain for price
count your change twice
If not, you'll become adipsous.
From Damuscus bring a rose
adipsous... hmm
From Damuscus bring a rose
Lay on a chaise, hold it in your toes,
You'll appear so alluring,
ah you deliberatedly avoided rhyming carpet, Joe...
From Damuscus bring a rose
Lay on a chaise, hold it in your toes,
You'll appear so alluring,
Your back problems curing,
But I bet you can't hold the pose.
I'm not going to buy me a carpet
I'm not going to buy me a carpet ,
Though the rug monger is known to harp it.
I think hardwood floor,
Suits my two feet more.
I'm not going to buy me a carpet ,
Though the rug monger is known to harp it.
I think hardwood floor,
Suits my two feet more
Stick that in your pipe and parp it
The wonderful world of soft furnishing
The wonderful world of soft furnishing
Has given my backside one hell of a burnishing.
Be it leather or vinyl,
The results, when made final.
The wonderful world of soft furnishing
Has given my backside one hell of a burnishing.
Be it leather or vinyl,
The results, when made final
Will help me to match the rhyme -urnishing.
I'm rather ashamed how that ends
But what's a spoilt lim between friends?
I'm rather ashamed how that ends
But what's a spoilt lim between friends?
and I won't be repeating
that small bit of cheating
