BLOODNOK'S ROCK 'N' ROLL CALL BLUES
(Carbone)
The Goons - 1956
Secombe: Company shun! Shoulder High!! By the right, number!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
Sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine
Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
You've got to rock and roll in a roll call way
You've got to march with a Marilyn Monroe-ese way
You've got to rock and roll with your old kit bag
But you mustn't ever mention her name in the mess
And if you want to know the title of this number
It is a Major Dennis Bloodnok Rock'n'Roll Call rhumba
Left, left, left, right left
Quick, slow, quick, quick, slow In, out, in, in, out
Pick up your gun, shove a bullet up the spout
It's the dance they do from Spain to Pango-Pango
It is a Major Dennis Bloodnok Rock'n'Roll Call Tango
Coy, dum diddle, blow de how Bombay didde bowl of char Um diddle
Minnie: Stop! Stop! Stop that sinful naughty record-type music. Stop
it I say! Oh! Stop it!
Bloodnok: Oh! Foddle me puckies and cril me topie. Why do my beady
old eyes deceive me, or is it? No, no -- it can't be. But yes! It is!
It's me old child hood sweetheart Spotty Minnie Bannister-- the
darling of Roper's Light Horse Bless my soul. What are you doing
here? Nothing catching I hope.
Minnie: I just came to put my bag full of money in the bank.
Bloodnok: Money! Money! Oh!!! Neddie, take Miss Bannister in a
steaming love dance while I check her properties. One, two, three,
four.
Secombe: Change to the left, ladies to the right. All join hands --
panic.
Bloodnok: Bravado, bravado. What a voice! (What a bank balance!) I
beg you, you gorgeous wanton. Give me some small token of your love
and I will sing you a known military melody. Music, maestro.
Plonk: (Right mate)
You've got to rock'n'roll in a monetary manner
If you want to earn a necessary tanner
Take your pick while the picking's good
If you never pick right, things will never get better
When I hear the tink of money that is good news
It drives away the Bloodnok Rock'n'Roll Call Blues
So let there be, always some cash for me
That will be mine, all mine!
