Fly Tipper
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White
He’s got a fridge freezer
He’s taking the easy way out
A knackered fridge freezer
And he’s taking the easy way out
Cos he’s a fly-tipper
He’s dumped a tyre and an armchair
It took him so long
To off-load, by the road
He’s lacking a permit
For the Municipal Tip
And it won’t fit in his Transit
Without taking a chainsaw to it
He’s got a mouldy carpet
Some plasterboard and dried-up grout
He packs it in nice and tight
Down the woods… chucks it out
Won’t take it at Oxfam
On eBay not one single bid
Barnsley Council could shift it
But they’d charge him 25 quid
And he’s a tight bugger
He won’t pay for that
Chuffin’ ‘ow much!?!?!
Not a chance - he’s got plans
Fly Tipper - fridge freezer yeah
Fly Tipper - fan heater yeah
Fly Tipper - old speakers yeah
Fly Tipper - dodgy geezer yeah

Too Many Boring Farts
Lyrics: Alan Doonican / Scott Doonican / Amanda White
Norman who works in accounting
At works do's always tries to maintain
That he's the life and he's soul of the party
But can't help his mad obsession with trains
At St Pancras well he's logged every number
From Derby to Lime Street Liverpool
He really gets his kicks out on Platform 6
With his biro, a notepad and dayglo kagool
There's too many boring farts in the world
The last thing you need is one talking to you
There's too many boring farts in the world
So try to stop them before they do.
Malcolm is encyclopaedic
On Popmaster he knows every act
Obscure facts about one hit wonders
At pub quizzes he's so matter of fact
With certain bands he is almost obsessive
His recall is quite something to see
And he just can't help but inform you
Why the bass player left back in eighty-three!
There's too many boring farts in the world
The last thing you need is one talking to you
There's too many boring farts in the world
So try to stop them before they do.
Colin's always been a collector
Has a multitude of things round his home
Old Marmite Jars to vast stamp collections
And you can't move around his garden for gnomes
He has a complete set of scarce Batman comics
Wedgewood pottery, and rare cricket bats
He really doesn't think he's a hoarder
He says it's only a problem if you can't find your cat
There's too many boring farts in the world
The last thing you need is one talking to you
There's too many boring farts in the world
So try to stop them before they do.
Sheila's constipation's a nightmare
It's tragic but she just overshares
As she logs every stool by the hour
Each movement she so quickly compares
She keeps a diary of the roughage she's eaten
Exercise is detailed on her fit-bit
But when she's telling everyone at the bus stop
Well just like her, you won't give a shit
Keith is a Games Workshop fanatic
He loves anything with wizards or elves
Cosplays Warhammer and Dungeons n Dragons
He's in his element when he's casting spells
He's waved his big staff at the Orc hordes of Mordor
Summoned elements of Fire and Ice
He's still searching for his Lady Galadriel
But he won't get laid with his twelve sided dice
There's too many boring farts in the world
The last thing you need is one talking to you
There's too many boring farts in the world
So try to stop them before they do.
There's too many boring farts in the world
The last thing you need is one talking to you
We all know a boring fart in this world
If you don't the boring fart might be you

Cut-Price Cowboy
Lyrics: Scott Doonican
I can’t believe I got it so wrong
I didn’t notice being strung along
I should’ve spotted the crack of his arse
When he looked at me fusebox
But now I’m feeling quite ashamed
And how on earth can I explain
When the missus gets home
I only tried economising
When I booked him in to fix our lighting
But I’m sat here in the darkness
And my lights aren’t shining on me
He was a half-arsed cowboy
Who lied about his reference,
Fabricated his portfolio
Just a cut-price cowboy
Fitting flimsy faulty fuses
Causing circuit-breaker overload
And smoke you can see reight up our road
Well I really can’t quite ascertain
Why I’m lying here in so much pain
I vaguely recall the light switch at the top of the landing
It’s like a touched a Van De Graaff
I saw the banister as I shot past
As I cleared the whole staircase
Well his prices were so enticing
But there is really no disguising
You get what you pay for
And this clearly has backfired on me
He was a half-arsed cowboy
And I woke up on me arse in the middle of our patio
He was a cut-price cowboy
Who sloped off for his dinner
Leaving live wires half exposed
And it wasn’t his first rodeo
Well I was lucky still to be alive
Although me hair looked like The Jackson Five
And I don’t like to whinge,
But the singed parts of me were quite sore
Now I’m all bandages and one huge bruise
I know where I’d shove that chuffin’ fuse
If he walked through the door
Turns out he faked online reviews and
I was a wazzock daft enough to choose him
But he took the money up-front so
I’ll never seen the bugger again
Just a half-arsed cowboy
Telling piles of porkies like a modern day Pinocchio
He was a cut-price cowboy
Cutting corners on trip switches
And the sockets round me bungalow
Just a half-arsed cowboy
The consumer unit fitted isn’t really worth the guarantee
Just a cut-price cowboy
Ex-posed by Watchdog and Rogue Traders on the BBC
But I can’t watch it, cos he’s blown our TV
​

That's Not My Name
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White
It’s a four letter word, but it gets on me wick
It’s not difficult to remedy, I’m not being a dick
And it’s pretty annoying, cos I hold the band together
I’m here to keep the groove, in me slacks and knitted sweater
I’m a serious musician, but they’re tekkin’ the Mick
Because the moniker I’m after goes with Harry and Dick
But they never seem to remember it at all
And at every single show
They just forget me name
They call me Dave - Not on me tank-top
Have they amnesia? Are they insane?
That’s not my name - That’s not my name
That’s not my name - My name ain’t Dave!
Some call me Ken
And some shout Shaggy
Can’t cope with them
Are they deranged?
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
My name ain’t Dave!
The band have missed the bus, yeah they’re droppin’ the ball
I’m the reason that you’re dancing, so I’m rather appalled
Cos, Dave’s are common as muck, they’re ten a penny
But frankly, I’m a Tom, so that makes me legendary
So I’m not being rude, not tryna’ cause offence now
Something’s got to give and I’m not sitting on the fence
I may be rankled and riled, but there’s one thing I promise
You’re not standing up for Spartacus
Because I’m a Thomas
They call me Dave - Not on me tank-top
Have they amnesia? Are they insane?
That’s not my name - That’s not my name
That’s not my name - My name ain’t Dave!
Don’t call me Rodney - Cos I’m no Cockney
And if you start that - I will complain
That’s not my name - That’s not my name
That’s not my name - My name ain’t Dave!
Don’t get your knickers in a twist now Dave
Don’t have another hissy fit, Dave
They call me Dave Don’t get your knickers in a twist now Dave
Not on my tank-top Don’t have another hissy fit, Dave
Have they amnesia?
Are they insane?
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
My name ain’t Dave!
Some call me Ken Don’t have another hissy fit, Dave
And some shout Shaggy
Can’t cope with them
Are they deranged?
That’s not my name Don’t have another hissy fit, Dave
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
My name ain’t Dave!
They call me Dave Don’t get your knickers in a twist darlin’
Not on my tank-top
Have they amnesia?
Are they insane?
That’s not my name Don’t have another hissy fit, Dave
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
My name ain’t Dave!
Don’t call me Rodney Don’t get your knickers in a twist darlin’
Cos I’m no Cockney
And if you start that
I will complain
That’s not my name Don’t have another hissy fit, Dave
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
My name ain’t Dave!

Waiting In On Monday Afternoon
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White
Well the boss man’s docked me half a day
To waste my chuffin’ time away
I’m hoping that the doorbell rings quite soon
I’d wish on them a pox
Cos it won’t slot through my letter box
I’m waiting in on Monday afternoon
Well my safe place isn’t a safe place today
Because you kicked it down the drive
In the rain and drove away
And I’ve tried to sit so patiently
But you take the piss so blatantly
Waiting in all Tuesday afternoon
Until suppertime
I’m heading back online
To sort this pantomime
Well I’d need the skills of Sherlock Holmes
To track it over nine timezones
To a lorry stuck in Kent because of Brexit
But still I’m sitting here
For what feels like eighteen light years
Still waiting here on Wednesday afternoon
They claimed that it was still in transit to appease
But I’m looking up the drive whilst your tracking App’s on freeze
I’ve ordered goods online before
But the chuffin’ thing’s still in Equador
But time’s stood still all Thursday afternoon
No they’re not on time
They’re clearly not inclined
To hit their deadline
Yodel chucked stuff in next door’s yard
Royal Mail left a big red card
And Fed-Ex are a bunch of chuffing useless vigilantes
Every day is Groundhog Day cos DHL are MIA
And Hermes are so shite they changed their name to Evri
They said that it was sent ‘next day guaranteed’
I’ve got a grand piano on it’s way to me
Well I took both of the back doors off
It’s freezing cold and I’m well pigged off
Still waiting in all Friday afternoon
And then they arrive
And don’t apologise
When it has not survived
Taking a nose-dive
Into our neighbour's drive
I’m really not surprised
​
Spas
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White / Alan Doonican
The word on the street, is that nothing can beat
A relaxed country retreat,
Where they’ll massage your feet - In spas
Wear your comfiest robe, and then try to embrace
A lovely warm tranquil zen,
With tonnes of crap on your face - In spas
Seaweed body wraps and herbal facial masks
Apply a mud pack with cucumbers on eyes
Epilate tough hair, til your body’s bare
But careful near your bits - it will sting your eyes
You can steamer your face,
So your pores are unblocked, but
Don’t swim after you eat
Or you could sink like a rock - In spas
It’s a blissful escape, where you’ll never feel glum
You can have your lips plumped
To look just like a chimp’s bum - In spas
Spray tan while you’re there, in paper underwear
Careful or you’ll look like the The Tango Man
Healthy food is great, but-some can irritate
Til your bum looks like the flag of Japan
Just unwind and relax, while they rub-down your back
They can hit you with twigs
Or do your back, sack and crack - In spas
Protein shakes and hot towels,
Stressful times here are sparse
You can clear out your bowels
With a pipe up your arse - In spas
There’s reflexology, and nice warm jacuzis
Aromatherapy with lavender oil
Steam cabins and saunas, try to find nirvana
While their expert staff are lancing your boils
​

Mr Pint-Sized
Lyrics: Rt. Rev. Jeremiah Rickenbacker Doonican III / Scott Doonican / Amanda White / Dave Harrison
When Gary Barlow's on stage, he is doing just fine
He's on top of the world, feeling ten foot tall
But not at home with his kid who's incredibly big
Cos everything that's inside, has to be twice the size
Now there's so many things that put Gaz in a grump
Like his dangly legs when he's tekkin' a dump
And their fridge is immense, so his neck's in a crick
Cos it's omelettes for tea and he needs the eggs down
But they're on the middle shelf now
He has no hope
He can't climb up past the Dairylea's
Cos he would need rope
The viral memes
Are wall-to-wall for all to see
There they are in black and white
Poking fun about his height
Five foot eight is ordinary
Unless yer kid's a Giant Redwood tree
So that when they're pictured side by side
He's Mr Pint-Sized
​
Now he's a ball full of rage, an angry man all the time
Because next to his lad, he feels really small
When he towers above like Goliath or Kong
Then there's really no fun talking Father to Son
It's hard to talk heart-to-heart, and eye-to-eye is the pits
When Gary's heart's by his balls and his eyes by his tits
So he tries to feel big by making money galore
Stores it safely away in a haven off shore now
He wants even more now
He can't be consoled
And every morning when he wakes
He has been trolled
It haunts his dreams
That their milkman's six foot three
His giant son he can't forgive
Cos he makes him look diminutive
But now Mark Owen stands by him
Cos it's in their contract, written in
So when they're pictured side by side
Mark's Mr Pint-Sized

Useless Uber
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White
I am sick and tired of sitting here
Been an hour long wait in the snow
I jab my phone, impatiently freezing
Wishing that it wasn't such a shitshow
I was glad to hear the sound of you approaching
Hoping that I'll be alright
But another bus crawls past
I feeling full of rage tonight
I booked a useless Uber, when are you arriving
This ain't chuffing fun
Booked at 10.21
And already an hour has gone
And then the stupid Uber, mobile app reminds me
That your overdue
The air is fifty shades of blue
While I wonder where you're driving to
Another twenty minutes pass and then
I get the first glimpse of Tony
Pulling up and he grunts "You getting in?"
While I turn my death stare to stoney
I-clamber into the back seat of his Hyundai
And homeward bound we then depart
And when I ask: "Have you been busy?"
Tony picks his nose and farts
I booked a useless Uber, and I am surmising
Tony's just begun
To have some impish fun
Playing Back to Bedlam by James Blunt
And then my useless Uber driver starts imparting
His expert world views
On Trump and Brexit news
I'm ignoring his misspelt tattoos
I just can't wait til we arrive
I wish that you would shut your trap and simply drive
And when you claim these days are Woke
I'm still polite
Cos now I know I'll never stop you talking shite
Inside this useless Uber, oh my god it's frightening
He's texting as he drives
Weaving cross the lines
No one's getting out alive
I booked a useless Uber, and its not surprising
Why I'm so dischuffed
I'd waited long enough
But now I wish I'd caught that bus
Inside this useless Uber, Tony is deriding
Everyone but him
I can't be convinced
Because I'm not as thick as mince
And whilst my Uber driver's ranting about Pride week
I just won't feel blue
Cos once this ride is through
I'll be adding to your bad reviews
​
Lost In Munich
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White
We're off to Munich
No looking back
Our bags have been packed
We're off to Munich
We're off to Munich
We're off to imbibe
And to check out the vibe
We're off to Munich
Oktoberfest is underway
And here we are on holiday
Oh the anticipation
Took the U-Bahn to the Marstall Tent
The Weissbier's nice at 5 percent
No need for moderation
I have never seen
So many tourists staggering
My legs no longer function
Here lederhosen are allowed
But with thirteen steins of Lowenbrau
Ich bin wirklich betrunken
They shout “Prost!” in Munich
Which translates as “Cheers!”
Clank those big steins of beer
And shout “Prost!” in Munich
When the Mayor of Munich’s
First barrel's been tapped
Festival tents are packed
We’re sloshed in Munich
The atmosphere's a fine delight
Where Oompah music plays all night
Accordions and phat tubas
Six rounds of Euros have been spent
It's crazy times in this huge tent
Until we're all in a stupor
Shut up liver, do your job
Got a bratwurst rammed into me gob
To soak up some of this strong booze
I was enjoying festivities
But I wandered off to have a wee
Can't find me mates or the loos
I'm lost in Munich
Way off the map
Me internal SatNav is crap
So I'm lost in Munich
Woke up with no wallet
And me passport weren’t there
I’ve got nowt to declare,
Except I'm lost in Munich
Turns out me mates had found me
And hid them for a joke
Me head feels like it’s broke
Me mind was lost in Munich
Crazy times in Munich
Same time next year?
What happens in Munich…
Stays in Munich

Clio
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White
You're on the bumper of me Ford Capri
With full beam on your head lights
You're like a silent maniac
Nearly took out that push bike
With the windows down and the bass turned up
And your mirrored Ray Bans for impact
You think you've got the Va Va Voom
But you're just a posing twat
His Electric Clio cost him over 20 grand
But-he-drives-it like a knob he really should be banned
He dun’t shut up about it, you’d think he’d understand
Nobody cares cos there’s no electric Clio fans
Diamond cut alloy wheels
500 mile range from A to B
But for the millionth time
It dun’t mean a thing to me
I don’t mind that it hardly pollutes
But I really couldn’t give a toss
About your 400 litre boot
His E-Tech Clio really is the pride of France
Or so he tells us every time he gets the chance
My adaptive cruise control it really is the best
Mate, it’s still a Clio - does it look like we’re impressed
I’ll concede that It’s alright
If you’re only driving across town
But go out and drive round the M25
That stupid thing’s poor battery won’t survive
Don’t take that chance 'cause luck ain’t on your side
I’ll tell you something, I don’t need convincing
It’s so bloody slow you could get out and milk it
His Electric Clio is like a milk float or golf cart
And I’d charge it with a lightning rod shoved up his arse
He can smoke at the charging point, if a charging point is there
But it takes four top-ups to get to Weston Super Mare
His Electric Clio is new fangled and equipped
With advanced assistance systems, but still he drives like shit
You can harp on all day long about all its benefits
But even in a Tesla, you’d still be a boring git
His electric Clio - drop it in the Rio Grande!

The Strongest Wine
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White
Ohhhh ohh oh oh - it is mighty fine
Ohhhh ohh oh oh - Alan’s hobby…
Alan’s got himself a new pastime
It’s amazing what you find online
He has the tubing, rubber bungs
And food-grade lubing
And all his tackle has been sanitised
Now he slips off in the dead of night
To the shed to work on his delight
He’s made a breakthrough
Now he’s dabbling with home-brew
Because he is working on the strongest wine
Ohh ohh oh oh – Alan’s home-brew wine
Ohh ohh oh oh – is the bestest…
Fills his bathtub to the top with grapes
Jumps on them like Tarzan of the Apes
He looks demented
But just wait til it’s fermented
It's pretty lethal stuff, his bootleg wine
The effects can last rather long
I once lost two days and woke up in Hong Kong
Paralysed from my neck to my hair
But I didn't have a care
And I can't feel my legs still
Raids his hedgerows, til all fruit is gone
His airing cupboard's packed with demi-johns
Forget Chianti
He meks that bugger taste like Shandy,
Tops it up with Brandy so it's fortified
Just beware his Pinot Noir
Even a glass could impede your brain power
His best brewer’s yeast, can enhance every feast
But if his grapes are too ripe
Then he might get his plums out
Sommelier’s will need a spittoon
Its could fuel a rocket to the moon
Intoxicating
It gets a Keith Floyd 5-Pint rating, even
Shane McGowan would be terrified
Oz Clarke couldn't be too critical
It’s got a greater kick than methanol
It's quite enchanting
It won’t be long til you’re not standing
Really don't have too much or you’ll end up blind
Ohh ohh oh oh – Alan’s homebrew wine
Ohh ohh oh oh - really is sublime
Ohh ohh oh oh – Alan’s homebrew wine
Ohh ohh oh oh – is the strongest wine
​
Turkey Teeth
Lyrics: Dave Doonican / Scott Doonican / Amanda White
Well when you went to Istanbul last year
You topped up your tan
But then stepped things up a gear
And I know it’s all in style
But now every time you smile
I’m almost blinded by your new veneers
Cos they’re bright, dead bright, they’re bright, so bright
You can't miss your pearly whites
And they’re neat, real neat, they’re neat so neat
You really love your Turkey teeth
You really love your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth
If you only wanted them to be in place
You could have opted for an orthodontic brace
I can see them in dark
They're even worse than Rylan Clarke’s
Now your gnashers look like tombstones without names
Cos they’re dazzling bright, but not quite right
You can't miss your pearly whites
And they’re neat, real neat, but not petite
You really love your Turkey teeth
You really love your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth
They've an incandescent glare
That only sunglasses could bear
I'm sure we could see
Your mouth from outer space
Cos they’re bright, so bright, turn off the lights
You can't miss your pearly whites
And they neat, so neat
But really not discrete
You really love your Turkey teeth
You really love your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth
Your Turkey teeth

Hidden Track: Red Card
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White
Well the Tango Tyrant rolled out of bed
And again he addressed his nation
Slapped an executive order on his neighbouring borders
25 percent rise in taxation
He just changed the law
He just changed the law
Started a trade war
When he changed the law
Well the Tangerine Toddler hit the ground runnin'
Saying “I won the bigly election!”
Signed executive orders, so American borders
Treated migrants with an act of aggression
He sent them on their way
They don't know that they're going
To Guantanamo Bay
He made it a crime for them to be there
Typical Trump with his awful persona
That Juan and Julio can’t get a green card
No Juan and Julio can’t get a green card
And after less than a day, Canada had its say
To try and chill it out a fraction
The PM told the press, we’re not having this mess
And told them of affirmative action
So he said “No way
I don’t know who you’re kidding
Go on, get on your way
I'm not your mate or your 51st State
Does your alpha male stance, give you a huge boner
Well we stand up to bullies out in the school yard
And I’m Justin Trudeau I’ve played my Trump Card”
​
The Apprentice in Command's dick-waving demands
Spread disharmony across the whole globe
What really were the chances with all the advances
That that shooter only could hit his earlobe?
He said he'll build a wall
He said he’ll build a wall
Can't we just build a wall
To surround that asshole
But the Fake Tanned Arse carried on with the farce
Making power grabs planned to expand
More executive orders saw the world’s reporters
Saying that he’ll take Gaza and Greenland
Thinks he’s got his way
But we all know where where it’s heading
If you have a say
Well now’s the time
To get in that line
To tell him out, and Elon as his donor
The world doesn’t need it
Show Trump the Red Card
No we’re not gonna take it
Show Trump the Red Card
Don’t let him pave Palestine and put up a parking lot
​
Hidden Track: Sup It Up
Lyrics: Scott Doonican
The evenin’ starts when we let loose
Cos we’re not on orange juice
Hoovered up the bar snacks
“Make mine a double Jack”
Barmaid said “What the chuff?
Alreight lads, you’ve had enough
You’re not William Shakespeare
So don’t end up barred
Sup it up
Do it once and repeat it
Sup it up
Even if you don’t need it
Head on to The Barley Mow
“Get it chugged, you’re far too slow”
For pints of real ale, pulled by hand
The Nags Head is the promised land
But now you’re there it’s packed and pokey
Hit The Plough for karaoke
Sup it up
It’s more than appealin’
Sup it up
Singin’ Don’t Stop Believin’
At The Black Bull there’s Beer Pong
A step too far, it could go wrong
There’s dominoes for the old farts
Foosball, cribbage, pool and darts
While Alan thinks he’s Eric Bristoe
At The Crown it’s indie disco
Throwing shapes to Blue Monday
Pulp and The Cure
Sup it up
It numbs the week’s troubles
Sup it up
And then we’ll move on to doubles
Now my legs they feel like lead
Last orders at The Kings Head
A cover band plays Stereophonics
And it’s sounding catastrophic
It’s rather torturous, but
We don’t feel unfortunate
The lock-in’s at The Dog and Duck
And now we do not give a monkeys
Sup it up
It might not be cultured
Sup it up
Just do it for Yorkshire
Sup it up
Everyone is competing
Sup it up
And eating is cheating
Sup it up
And don’t heed the warnings
Sup it up
Til one in the morning
Two in the morning
Three in the morning
Four in the morning
Five in the morning
Six in the morning
Oh God it’s morning!
