lyrics

OUR UGLY OLD BAND
(Ian M. Bruce)

Half an hour to take and whilst on my break
I sit myself down and I smile.
I raise my glass to our musical cfass
Cos the band's keen together a while.

CHORUS
O, we're far from athletic and hardly aesthetic
In fact, we're a hideous crew.
But solid our sound, the best going round
Even if we are painful to view..

There's Benny on bass with the funny old face.
Though he shaves it and he washes it clean.
It's as well his bank book don't depend on his looks
He's the ugliest guy that I've seen.

And there's Pete on percussion feigning constant concussion
He glares as he rattles his drums.
He's grey as a ghoul and when the moon is full
Christ knows what he becomes.

CHORUS

Keybords Kenny, he's the fattest of many
He fondly remembers his knees.
His corporation causes consternation.
It prevents him from reaching the keys

And there's Larry on lead, he's tiny indeed
Funny, cos the rest are quite tall.
If you weren't impressed by his guitar prowess
You'd swear he wasn't there at all.

CHORUS

Well, I play rhythm and I sing along with 'em
And many happy years I've had.
I'm the good looking man of an ugly old band.
Well nothing is ever all bad.

CHORUS
