Half Man Half Biscuit 99% of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd Lyrics

Jesus Christ come on down!

If you ever wondered how
You get triangles from a cow
You need b___er, milk and cheese
And an equilateral chainsaw

In debt I owe someone a fiver
Maybe I should try my hand at drag
James Dean was just a careless driver
And Marilyn Monroe was just a slag

99% Of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd (x4)

Mary had a little lamb
The doctors were astounded
Everywhere she went
Gynaecologists surrounded

They've been cooking on Blue Peter
Now they're sampling the dishes
"I don't normally like tomatoes John
But this is delicious"

99% Of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd (x4)

Take me home

The son of Jimmy c___heroe is shouting out
"Where's my fiorucci?"

Now the Krona rumour spread
But they didn't tell the bread
Did you honestly think that they would?

And if 8 out of 10 cats all prefer Whiskas
Do the other two prefer Lesley Judd?
