(How-How-How now, brown cow?
(I think I'm gonna buy me a dog, yes sir..I'm gonna buy me
a dog. If I was looking for a word to describe what I'm gonna buy
I think dog would be the word. Would it be dog? It would be dog.
Definitely dog.
It would come springing from my lips, dog..Boing, boing boing.
It would be springing! Is that it, Tommy?Can you turn it off please?
Can somebody open the door and let us out?
They're coming to take us away! Ha-ha, he-he, ho-ho.) (Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
