about

Batman's Skantz

Paul McCartney wakes up in the morning with a song in his head about 'Scrambled Eggs'. He realises it's a 'no go' but a nice song so changes it to 'Yesterday' and it becomes one of the biggest selling songs of all time. I, on the otherhand, wake up with a chorus in my head 'good golly, I like wearing batman's skantz..'. I think it's a Christmas number one and proceed to construct a song around it.

They say it's a fine line between genius and madness but clearly it's not...

Lady Lemon’s Lingerie

I used to work with a girl who went to school with kids with… well…rather eccentric names. Lady Lemon was one of them. I like alliteration in songs and rhythmically Lady Lemon’s Lingerie fitted perfectly with a song that had been going around in my head for some time. The difficult part was creating a story around it....

On the face of it the song may seem somewhat misogynist and while it is scathing of those who are obsessed with the superficial rather than the soul it is more about the male attitude to beautiful females and their sometimes bitter reaction to rejection.

lyrics

Batman’s Skantz

Gothic Gotham City on a chillin’ night
There was a scream from a dream
That started a fright
I turned around to a sound
That made me stiff
And a feisty feline offerin’ me a lift

And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come over here
And she said ‘BATMAN’ you have nothing to fear
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you step inside
But please can you put these underpants on?

Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s ……….

They were grey coloured pants right up to my waist
I said ‘lady, you have the most disturbing taste’
I could tell from the smell they’d been worn before
And the knicker elastic really made me sore

And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come over here
And she said ‘BATMAN’ you have nothing to fear
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come inside
But please can you keep your underpants on?

Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s ……….

Holy Smoke Batman…

Cave dwelling creatures that come out in the night
They gave her thrills and her shrills and nocturnal delight
She had a frown at the brown in my smelly pants
And a feast on the beast in Batman’s skantz

And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come over here
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come over there
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come everywhere
But please can I try your underpants on?

Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s ……….

Lady Lemon’s Lingerie

Lady Lemon’s Lingerie
As beautiful as it can be
Lady Lemon looks so much
Like something I would like to touch

Is there more to this girl than her lingerie?
Is anyone’s guess
Does that really matter in all honesty?
In a five grand dress

I’ve fallen in love again, I’ve fallen in love
I’ve fallen in love again, I’ve fallen in love…..again

Lady Lemon’s Lingerie
Has everything that I can see
Lady Lemon knows her mind
Even though it’s hard to find

Has the female form looked so heavenly?
From her head to her toes
She brings out a very strange dichotomy
Do I love or I loathe?

Chorus

The moment is brewing
Hours spent grooming
All I wanted to know
Was whether she’d show me her lingerie

Lady Lemon’s Lingerie
Never seen dead with me
Lady Lemon understands
The virtues of a very rich man

What makes her tick is no mystery
She likes the rub of the green
If she wasn’t so thick it’d be a tragedy
I find it quite obscene

Chorus

The last thing I heard she’s a wannabe
On the TV screen
The only work she finds is pornography
On the London scene

Chorus
