What know you about a rich wife’s fears?
How she feels when her man her wealth nears?
Watches her the scene and marked pain bears
Or ahead goes to shed obvious tears?
A Neighbor Eve I have who goat rears
And her Charlton pays back in arrears:
Smiles of understanding, soon great fears;
She could from him run with engaged gears!
Wife to her man her wealth endears,
From him withholding it heart spears…
Charlton she’s forced to mind her profit
And on the subject turn Prophet!
Devils roar angels bow
History unfold the DNA is red
We unite the universe
Our fanzone is enormous
We produced legends
We conquered Europe
The rival clubs are terrified
They're battered in Trafford
Sir. Bobby Charlton humbled the crowd
Sir. Alex Ferguson stand, Ole is on the wheel now..
Old Trafford is a fotress, it frightens the other clubs..
We're successful, we're the home of trophies...
We sucked the rival clubs but not like vampires..
We're the pride of England
We support the batch..
We're proud to be called the sons of the devil but not like Dracula..
We're Manchester
Charlton Heston and Eleanor Parker are in a bad situation.
Legions of army ants will attack their plantation.
These creatures cause many square miles of devastation.
The insects will devour everything in sight.
Charlton and Eleanor will take a stand and fight.
Do you wonder how this predicament will go?
All you have to do is watch the video.
Based on the 1954 film "The Naked Jungle"
A chat show presenter from Preston
Had a peculiar guest on
He came on a cart
With a shield o'er his heart
And said that his name's Charlton Heston
Used to thrill
to the Fantastic Four, X - Men
Sometimes ever Charlton or Classics illustrated
Dare I mention to my educated friends
that I still read comic books?
or even to anyone
that I enjoy
Archie - with hamburger eating Jughead
the poor and rich girls
Betty and Veronica ?
I advise you to take a
comic book trip
They are not just for children
Charlton Heston rode on a horse down the beach.
He and his newly-found lady friend escaped the apes.
Something he saw brought a startling epiphany.
Charlton realized he was back home, but in the future
when he discovered the decaying remains of the Statue of Liberty.
How could the process of evolution retrogress?
This was enough to make the average person do away with themselves.
However, the producers needed him to star in a sequel.
Based on the 1968 film “Planet of the Apes”
CHARLTON HESTON AND MY CHILDHOOD
To say so in those days would surely have been libel
But better than hellfire screamed from pulpits above
Were the sandal and toga movies about the bible
They always spoke softly to me about God’s love
It seemed so logical, to do good - so just, so appropriate.
God told Heston go forth, and lead people away from Brynner:
When Charlton Heston told you to do it
He said it not for show but from a love which was inner.
Seemed to me in movies the good guys got rewarded
And the hypocrites always got exposed -
Reminded me of teachers who were applauded
When they stood and as self-righteous religionists posed.
Always made me happy to see on Saturday nights
What was twisted or denied in school next week:
In toga movies, even the bad guys had some rights
And Heston favoured not the strong but the weak.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner starred in movie THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Heston was the good guy, Moses. Brynner was the bad guy, Pharaoh.
Final score: Moses 1 - Pharaoh 0
Those from the islands
consider it a feat
to partake of this meat.
They fry it for breakfast
and the day's not complete
unless it's stirred into soups
simmered to red heat.
(Refrain)
Not even Charlton Heston
would touch that intestine.
A Chinese yam
an old picnic ham
All take a front seat
to that pink, greasy meat.
A preliminary exam
of that container of spam
reveals the discrete
use of waste meat.
Bowels and snouts
the back of the lap
mixed with chassis lube
and other such crap.
Teats, and feet
stuff off the street
compound the most part
of that horrible meat.
{Refrain)
Yes, ma'am
We are serving spam
We are under the orders
of Uncle Sam.
We're conserving best cuts
by eating the guts and
conserving resources
by grinding up horses
Sword-and-sandals he often wore
Fifties movies,the fans adore,
Bibilical epics we see no more-
Unusual in a Hollywood life
Faithful,marriage to just one wife.
