SOFT MACHINE
"Fred The Fish"
(Daevid Allen)

Hand me me bowler & me didgery-do
One banana sandwich & a bucket of tea
Abra-cabra-dabra I'm a coolibar tree
Takes a bowl of soup to paint a picture like me
Some dog's breakfast of a bloke I be
Smokin' all the tea leaves on me family tree
I'm a friend of tweedledum & tweedly dee
I'm so outa sight that now there's nothin' to see

O hand me a dalhia
I'm goin' to Australia
Me life's been a failure
She's turned me down

So soon I'll be waltzin' on the old gold sands
Everythin' too lovely to understand
Pass me the parsley & me ninety-ninth chip
Ain't nothin' nasty gonna pass my lips
Da-da-de-ho gimme sweet potatoes

BOINK
