Mr Whippy Rides Again

a true story

lyrics

Mr Whippy rides again …there he goes on his Norton

thrown out of school for some vague academic come attitude related issue

his friends were all drop-outs too, each with more bulk than a double bass in a Honda 3-door

our hero's piercing black eyes and Clutch Cargo jaw more than make up for his lack of height.

In this suburban paradise the sticky ooze of George Thoroughgood and Black Russians collects in sweaty puddles under the coffee table

Mr Whippy's rolling a four paper joint while topless chicks cook under the sun

Neanderthal boys push their tools into the broken bodies of machines that spend more time on blocks than on the road.

Our man, he's with his second girl of the afternoon - lust straining against his jeans

Wide lips smiling to hide the size of her mouth, “all the better to eat you with eyes” and hands that could crack a can of her own with-out a flinch.

“What sort of a girl are you?” he asks as she sinks to her knees

“A hungry one” she laughs just as girlfriend number one bounces through the door with a plate of burnt barbecued sausages and a handful of potato crisps.

There’s more than one way to lose your appetite.
