Terry Flood Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Be kind... this is one of my faves!

Lyrics: Human... that's me folks!

Music: AI (with human management)

Vocals: AI (which is my public service... you don't wanna hear me sing!)

[O, just in case it's not common knowledge... in Cockney rhyming slang

'Whistle' = 'Whistle and flute' = 'Suit'..... that's kind of how it works]

Listen to poem:

Huh!

Okay Fellas… Step on it!

Let’s get moovin!

Let’s… get… GROOVIN’!
…
…
HUH?!!!
…

Some say zed and some say zee
Some say yes and some say oui 
Some say moi and some say me
But the whole darned world says, “Huh?”

HUH?

Some say Kacka some say poop
Some say broth and some say soup
Some say goulash some say stew
But the whole darned world says, “Huh?”

“HUH?”

Some say film and some say movie
Some say fab and some say groovy
Some say dance and some say boogie
But the whole darned world says, “Huh?”

So when I’m wearing my best whistle and you're sporting your best suit
And my wife tells me I’m a hunk and yours says you look cute
We treat them to a week away… a vacation…… or holiday
You stick your luggage in the trunk while mine goes in the boot

Some say dollar, some say buck
Some say lorry, some say truck 
Some say loser, some say schmuck
But the whole darned world says, “Huh?”

“HUH?”

Some say study, some say swat
Some say sexy, some say hot 
Some say eh? and some say what?
But the whole darned world says, “Huh?”

“HUH?”

In every language, everywhere, 
It’s spoken here and spoken there
It’s likely that you’d hear it here
A word you might here anywhere

If you’re exhausted and I’m shattered, BOTH of us are, simply… KNACKERED!
But over there in London Town… they’ll often say that they’re CREAM CRACKERED!!!
So live the dreams that fill your head…. For like somebody, somewhere said
We all can rest when we are dead, or we’re Deceased… or we’re BROWN BREAD!!!

So, It’s a word we yell or speak
when we’re surprised or up the creek
And if a scare should raise my brow
It’s likely I would say it now


In fact…
Wait for it… wait for it……
…
Here it comes~
…
…
“HUH~!!!!

“Huh?”
…

“HUH?”
…
…
“Huh?
