The Chuckle Brothers

Woke up this morning with a head This is the curse when you try to change the world Gave Mary just a slight hint Tony might be bedding Jill, Joan, not excluding Alice Big John, definitely gay, but as I explained, Billy his partner was kissing May Mark was salivating over the barmaid Rose God sakes man haven’t you heard, Rose used to be Fred You could have heard a pin drop when the chuckle brothers walked in Word on the street, Jill and Joan were in the family way Which in any other circumstances would be okay But everybody knew the brothers fired blanks, hence the chuckle reference amongst the ranks Still, honour was at stake on that fateful night A slight nod Tony’s way would start the fight A knife to the heart was Tony’s plight Then a voice cried out, you sure she’s a man Well, Rose hit Mark with a pan Big John headbutted Billy Who landed on Tony, and one of his cronies Mary, who had now lost the plot when Alice showed the ring Tony had bought A bottle of bud over the head, put paid to Tony and his amorous ways Rose stripped off, shouting, does this look like a man Mark got up, seeing double as the chuckle brothers pushed him down again Big John threw Billy into the air, landing on the chuckle brothers like Fred Astaire The brothers took this as a blatant dare, shooting Billy without a care Tony clocked Rose in her Sunday best, uttering the words, better than all the rest This sent Mary totally insane, followed by Jill, Joan, Alice, and for some reason May Guns were pulled, shots went astray, all aimed at Tony who looked on in dismay The chuckle brothers in the way, killed outright on that fateful day Legend has it, a crime of passion, no arrests were ever made Tony fled the country, followed by Jill, Joan, and for some reason May Mark and Rose fell in love, got married Mary and Alice gave them away Big John and Billy gave it another go I was going to mention to him, but decided no Not after all the advice I gave went untold Still, this is the curse when you try to change the world This is why I woke up with a head Though, what a palaver Was it something I said.
