I've Parted (Misprint)

  • My mother had the vicar and the vicar's wife to tea
    They cleared the room, they blamed it on the dog
    But it was me...

    I've farted, I've farted
    I've made a trouser cough
    I've whistled in me Y-fronts
    I've just peeled one off
    I've blown my bowel bugle
    I've been eating peas
    I've broken wind
    I've dropped my guts
    Open the window please

    I've been eating cabbages, prunes and pears and beans
    Drinking Dandelion & Burdock and you know what that means
    Polluting the environment, my friends leave me alone
    The front of me sings tenor and the rest sings baritone

    I've farted, I've farted
    I've made a trouser cough
    I've whistled in me Y-fronts
    I've just peeled one off
    I've blown my bowel bugle
    I've been eating peas
    I've broken wind
    I've dropped my guts
    Open the window please

    Bubbles in the bath!
    Real rip snorters!
    Up on one cheek and hope it don't make a noise
    Window rattlers!
    Cushion creepers!
    Don't shake your leg and keep it in your corduroys

    A gentleman tells before it smells, he waves his jacket 'til it's gone
    But I'm the kind of sneaky bugger who lets off and doesn't let on
    I let them go in lifts, in queues, in phone-boxes and trains
    And when they stink the people blink and blame it on the drains

    I've farted, I've farted
    I've made a trouser cough
    I've whistled in me Y-fronts
    I've just peeled one off
    I've blown my bowel bugle
    I've been eating peas
    I've broken wind
    I've dropped my guts
    Open the window please

    "I say, have you farted?"
    "Of course I have - d'you think I always smell like this?" Writer/s: IVOR BIGGUN
