The Rego Oporto Show


Let's ponder last time Rego the ego was over yonder in the Iberico peninsula ..our hero was fonder of the wonder of Ronda but now does wander through the beauty & fruity booty that cutie Oporto does bestow… (in house joke...there is no radio embargo for this rhyming cargo so back to you in the studio)

Can't recall if we ever talked at all about how we virtually stalked Porto

A viral spiral as we did dream and scheme of moving there for a mo

Then balked too late deranged climate all changed mate too scorchio 

Burned by the rage on the centre stage of a teenage tyro turned pyro

But what do you know ho ho ho…it's the Rego Ego in Oporto show


Jammy mutt strut out of any rut from Redditch hut far & away you yo yo  

Smut of getting half cut a holiday foray glut such a sl*t.. a true pro or ho

But tut tut apropos bitter blow new shi**er low an at home sitter can't go


My career did park it… left the market now sign on for giro with my biro

Crow finances a foe.. so woe of ambassadors not in a row you flying solo

We should be tourers toe to toe explorers like Marco Polo with me in tow

As long as about assado not Fardo rather hear a song from Nelly Furtado 

 
Naughtiness not haughtiness to and fro cheeky ebb & flow of going gung ho 

Know your next photo will bring the frustration of a great crustacean crescendo

Gasping at the rasping sheen of a lean barbecued sardine no echo of Pinocchio


Ah grasping a calamari safari love the art deco but you can shove the prosecco  

No braggadocio clasping fino or nerdy vinho verde or scarlet harlot starlet tinto 

Hard for Euro aficionado as you scoff avocado & lardo tartlet from the mercado

Hope foody bingo is bravissimo dope & bellissimo though know is wrong lingo 


So hey ho or nonny no bonny Rego in Porto is brassier than Portugeezer Luis Figo

Bigger teaser & pleaser classier than gusto & bravado of another dynamo Eusebio

Drinking sinking fort-ified wine quaff port like it's a sport holding court on the Douro

Envy piqued oh Rego never a fuddy duddy ruddy cheeked plucky bloody lucky so & so
