Awol

kat was in the bedroom
playing hidehideho
lou was in the kitchen
kissing Michelangelo
ray was in a coffin
taking measurements
with string
jean was cleaning
windows trying to
teach the world to sing
the satellite was beaming
in a cabaret show were
juliet was arguing with stupid romeo
the dog was reading poetry by
poe and valerie
and I was sat there thinking
how happy we could be

bye bye baby
baby bye bye
I feel so happy but I don't know why
we're off to see the wizard!
A.W.O.L.
bye bye baby
I wish you well

now the sneaky fat magician
he stole my handkerchief
he blew his nose and gave
himself 20 years of grief
and I was so dumbfounded
when he asked me for a loan
I told him to repeat it
to my tiny dictaphone
and all the lazy bastards
that ever walked the earth
were trying to get hold of me
from Tokyo to Perth
but I was up the cundy
combing my goatee
you thought I was surrounded
but with one bound ... our hero was free

bye bye baby
baby bye bye
I feel so happy but I don't know why
we're off to see the wizard!
A.W.O.L.
bye bye baby
I wish you well

now all you gay lieutenants
who follow the yellow brick
be sure to take your happy pills
before you get seasick
the journey is long-winded
with many twists and snakes
and I forgot to mention
there were never any breaks
