Lyrics for Dreadbelly
Horses, hounds and humans all sitting on an underground train That fox that lives in the Mile End Road is gonna get chased again Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles and his mate Sir Richard Van Dyke Are following on behind the hunt on a two-stroke motorbike Who would have thought it? Dreadbelly come running over the hill and he cried out "I be cursed! Before it get it out of my system I've got to get some in there first' He threw himself at her dainty feet and he begged her for an answer She said "You're a much better Fishmonger than you're ever gonna be a clog dancer' The strong man Egyptologist, he couldn't return her gaze But she won him over with her tight pullover and her Wonderful turn of phrase She said "Clear piss and hard shit is all you need to make You'll find in life that everything else is just icing on the cake' Who would have thought it?
