Whipping post!
Say that again please
Whipping post!
Whipping post? ok, just a second
(do you know that?)
Oh sorry, we don't know that one
Anything else?
Hum me a few bars of it...please
Just show me how it goes, please
Just sing, sing me whipping post
And then maybe we'll play it with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Thank you very much
And now...
Judging from the way you sang it,
It must be a john cage composition, right?
Here we go...montana
One two, one two three four
I might be movin' to...
Hold it! hold it!
We can't possibly start the song off like that!
Good god!!!
That's inexcusable!
What happened to you last night?
(george has a tape of it)
George has a tape of it?
Ok, we'll use that in the second show
Ready? montana...
Wait a minute...whipping post
No...montana
One two, one two three four
It's too fast for you!
One two, one two three four
I might be moving to helsinki soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental floss
Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
Tying it to the whipping post
In the middle of town
But by myself i wouldn't
Have no boss,
Cause i'd be raisin' my lonely
Whipping post
Raisin' my lonely
Whipping post
Raisin' my lonely
Whipping post
Well i just might grow me some thongs
But i'd leave the hippy stuff
To somebody else...how 'bout chester?
And then i would
Get a person
Tie him up
To the whipping post
And beat the living sh** out of him
So that guy in the audience was satisfied
But by myself i wouldn't
Have no boss,
'cause i'd be raisin' my lonely
Whipping post-floss
Movin' to montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon (how unique!)
Movin' to montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
(yes, it's such a ballad at this tempo)
Little booger-bear
Boogers everywhere
And now for the thrilling conclusion to that song...
