Ricky Did a Bad, Bad Thing

Well, they said it's illegal, immoral and sick
But I couldn't resist attempting the trick
So I found me a monkey, a snake and a duck
And I hoped it would work, with a wee bit of luck.

I decided the music of Franz Ferdinand
Was exactly the way I could take them in hand
His one song I liked best had the name, "Take Me Out"
And I played it so loud that I oft had to shout.

I had doubts this would fly but I gave it my best
They were trained dawn to dusk before taking a rest
By and by they showed signs of acquiring a skill
I was able to share by sheer force of my will.

After seven long years of refining our act
I was ready to prove that my mind hadn't cracked
And we sold out the halls where we put on the show
The details of which none of you'll ever know.
