In response to a request a couple of weeks ago on the net,
here are the lyrics to the Goodies' song "Funky Gibbon"
performed by Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill
Odie.
These lyrics are taken from "A Poke In The Eye (with a sharp stick),
an Amnesty International album. The album also contains sketches by
Monty Python, Peter Cooke and others less well known (but equally
funny) on this side of the Atlantic.
Funky Gibbon
------------
"Come on everybody it's gibbon time"
We're the Goodies, How do you do
We've just been out to the zoo
Saw a monkey in a cage
Doing a dance that could be the rage
Its not hard so lets all do
The funky gibbon, ooh ooh ooh
CHORUS:
Do do do the funky gibbon
"Funky gibbon"
We are here to show you how
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
"Funky gibbon"
Its just like you, so come on and do
The funky gibbon now
Dogs are always howling
Cats are always yowling
But gibbons only like to sing and dance
ooh ooh ooh
If your'e like that monkey
Get a little funky
And in a while, start to smile
Gibbon half a chance
CHORUS:
Do ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Do ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
"All right, everyone ready to do the funky gibbon?"
Do ooh ooh the funky gibbon
"Drop one arm down by your knees
Let the other arm reach up to the trees"
Do ooh ooh the funky gibbon
"Let your wrist go limp like a big baboon
and get ready to sing this gibbon tune"
Do ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Give me an ooh
Ooh
Give me an ooh
Ooh
And give me another ooh
Ooh
Now put em together and what have you got?
Ooh ooh ooh
"You don't half look silly"
CHORUS:
Ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Tie a yellow gibbon round the old oak tree
Ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
Ooh ooh ooh the funky gibbon
fade out
I'd rather have a full beer in front of me than a pre frontal lobotamy
