Yankee Poodle

Yankee Doodle bought a poodle But it was a donkey Went back to the pet shop And said this ’ere dog is wonky Fetch the donkey from my car Get a poodle handy That’s no poodle in my car You’ve had too much Brandy The pet shop owner said don’t come here Talking tough and spunky If you think that dog’s an ass Then you must be a junkie Fetch the donkey from my car Get a poodle handy That’s no poodle in my car You’ve had too much Brandy Yankee Doodle said is this your Customer relations The pet shop owner said I’m sorry, we don’t sell alsatians Fetch the donkey from my car Get a poodle handy That’s no poodle in my car You’ve had too much Brandy Yankee Doodle said you're deaf Your hearing aid is broken And you’re half blind so you can’t Lip read any word I’ve spoken Fetch the donkey from my car Get a poodle handy That’s no poodle in my car You’ve had too much Brandy The pet shop owner said, but sir My donkeys don’t do rushing Yankee Doodle frowned, I said A dog that won’t need brushing Fetch the donkey from my car Get a poodle handy That’s no poodle in my car You’ve had too much Brandy

One thing is indisputable, GW… no-one, but no-one writes a comment quite like you do. Do I smell Gin? Ha ha!

Epic Terry Flood! Is this what happens when a Yankee drinks too much brandy? I'll stick with sweet tea, and I'm not a Yank.

Thanks, Lin. I shall accept ‘Epic’ in all modesty. Now, what’s the number for Atlantic Records?

After I’d written this, I couldn’t get the flaming thing out of my head. I’ve got to replace all my windows and mirrors now! ;-)
