...MY PINK HALF OF THE DRAINPIPE...

by Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

.........................

*from 'The Doughnut In Granny's Greenhouse' (1968)*

(Original Key: Bb)

Intro:

Verse 1:

You who speak to me, across the fence,

Of common sense.

Am Am/maj Am7

How your tomato plant will win a prize;

Won't that be nice? and by the way... how's your wife?

Your holidays, were spent in Spain,

You went by train; you'll go again.

Verse 2:

Have you seen me bullfight poster on the wall?

Do you know the 'appy memory it re-calls?

Am Am/maj Am7 Am6

Here's a photograph of me with my son, Ted;

That's me cousin, with his hanky on his head!

We booked in at our 'otel just after two,

And met a family from Bradford that we knew.

Interlude:

Oooh, what melo-dy-a! (Burp!)

Chorus 1:

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Separates next door from me.

Am Am/maj Am7 Am6

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Am D7 (n.C) (G)

Oh, Mama! Belongs to me!

Interlude:

Sax Solo:

G B, Em B, G B, Am E

Am Am/maj, Am7 Am6, Am7 D7, G

Chorus 2:

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Semi-de-tach-ed, ah!

Am Am/maj Am7 Am6

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Am D7 (n.C) (G)

Oh, Mama! Belongs to moi!

Interlude:

Verse 3:

I have a sister in To-ronto who's a nurse,

And I've had a bit of bother laying turf.

Am Am/maj Am7 Am6

It's life, not books that taught me all I've learned,

Woop, in the b'oven, my rice pudding's getting burned!

'Ere, have you seen the new attachment on me drill?

I must have the cat put down, 'cos he's ill.

Break:

(n.C)

Hey, neighbour!

Chorus 3:

My pink half of the drainpipe,

I may paint it blue.

Am Am/maj Am7 Am6

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Keeps me safe from you!...

Interlude:

(Glockenspeil):

I'm a wobbly jelly, you're a pink blanc-mange,

I'm a sherry trifle, you're a chocolate sponge.

Your dad wears a paper hat, mine inflates bal-loons,

(n.C)

Whoops! Boodly boop! (Pop!) Here comes a spoon!

Coda:

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Separates me from,

The in-credibly fascinating story of your life,

Am/maj Am7 Am6

And every day to day event, in all it's minute,

And tedious at-tention to detail...

And was it a Thursday or a Wednesday?

Or, oh, no, it wasn't though.

Oh, who cares anyway, because I do not.

So Norman if you're normal,

I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life.

And I shall baffle you,

With cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen,

Incessant quotations from "Now We Are Six",

Through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's,

Giant poisoned e-lectric head. So there...

Outro:

G B Em Am E Am/maj Am7
