Turf Not Tarmac/Why isn't that Eel in the Sea?

from I Know You Are But What Am I? by The Retro Spankees

lyrics

I've been dealt a joker and I'm waiting for my aces,
I'd gladly switch places for a pair.
Watch her flip me over as she changes places,
There is no longer a trace there.

Look left, look right,
Eat dynamite,
Kaboom.

I am making millions from my dodgy pizza,
And the cider from the bathroom.
If you collect T-Shirts and like spiral tattoos,
You will be a silly boy soon.

Glad that you're happy,
Think you stole it from me.
I'd chop at him,
If I knew Karate.
Stop missing out your T's and G's.
Hello Gary what is the matter?
Have you forgotten you manner?
Spanner.
