Took Problem Chimp To Ideal Home Show Songtext / Lyric

So banish me to the furnace

I must own though

My actions are in no way born

Out of some sort of Darwinist offensive

I just get a bit fidgety times

Thumbs twiddle in the middle of a funfair

High jinks to break up the so-so

Me thinks we need a little ho ho ho

Go – Earl's Court

A bag of rivets for the goon at the entrance

Straight'ways the floor gets slippery

Eyes glaze, and Bobby's getting jittery

Don't tease him

It don't please him

What's that, you want me to appease him?

How so, Sir? With Tetris?

Not possible – didn't bring the GameBoy






Took Problem Chimp to the Ideal Home Show

Once in a while I need these childish kicks

Took Problem Chimp to the Ideal Home Show

God speed the trial to cite my childish kicks



Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Brickbats for Sottsass

Bouquets for the chuckling footstool

In the heart of darkness

There are no hassle-free cabinets

Sometimes occasional tables

Mid-air, look kind of dangerous

Llewelyn-Bowen, two Carols

Go on Bobby, both barrels

Three cheers for the infinite leaflets

Ticker-tape got me thinking of Kempes

Funky fabric

Hip hip hooray

There's no stopping him

Rip rip away

Heaven – yes

Distant now

One imagines

After this lot

Still gasp

At his agility

Albeit in the tree of tranquility

Yes it's a mess

I don't deny the crime

But look I've reduced your ironing time

Multifunctional, is that what you call it?

Well here's a thought

Feel free to install it

Your sink may well be superior

But we all stink once we reach the interior

Next week I'm taking him up west

We've not seen Lord of the Dance



Took Problem Chimp to the Ideal Home Show

Once in a while I need these childish kicks

Took Problem Chimp to the Ideal Home Show

God speed the trial to cite my childish kicks



Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Wade in the water, wade in the water, children

Wade in the water, wade in the water, children
