RADIO BUNGALOW TOWN
(Harry Gifford / Fred Cliffe
)

George Formby
recorded February 25th 1936


I've got a high class house on the bypass road,
Porch and verandah, oh what a grand abode!
Every inconvenience, enjoy myself I will,
My front garden's round at the back at the scullery windowsill!

In that radio rodeo hi-de-ho ho-de-ho on the old bungalow town,
You ought to try livin' there,
It's nowhere near anywhere!
You walk for miles,
It's right out in the wilds,
And when you see the rain peltin' down,
Your house is afloat, you sink under the road,
And don't rise again till the gasworks explode
In that radio rodeo hi-de-ho ho-de-ho on the old bungalow town!

In that radio rodeo hi-de-ho ho-de-ho on the old bungalow town,
You ought to try livin' there,
It's nowhere near anywhere!
On the QT
Lovin' couples you'll see
On their honeymoon, settlin' down.
But the gushing young wives seem to be a bit hot,
For every weekend different husbands they've got
In that radio rodeo hi-de-ho ho-de-ho on the old bungalow town!

In that radio rodeo hi-de-ho ho-de-ho on the old bungalow town,
You ought to try livin' there,
It's nowhere near anywhere!
In a bedroom next door,
A girl lays on the floor,
Doin' physical jerks, up and down!
Through a hole in the wall I take a sly peep,
And when she starts bendin' I walk in me sleep
In that radio rodeo hi-de-ho ho-de-ho on the old bungalow town!
